I'm gonna keep using this thread as a record of my Cham's weight... He weighed-in at 130.9 grams today; which is an increase of 47.6 grams in 44 days! o_O Skittles @ 7 months by NERVOUS posted Apr 12, 2016 at 8:34 PM

UPDATE: Apparently, I have fertile Silkworm eggs. This is one of the three batches of eggs I got. (y) Fertile Silkworm Eggs by NERVOUS posted Apr 12, 2016 at 8:34 PM Also, kudos to Coastal Silkworms. I re-ordered from them just prior to the start of this little project... And this is what...

I couldn't tell you exactly. All I really did was remove the individual cocoons from the pod I had whenever they appeared. There probably is something to the availability of food and pupating though... Because the worms I had only started cocooning when their food supply dwindled. Also, just...

I suggest pupating a few of them... It's super easy. Plus, it's interesting to watch the process unfold... At least it was to me. Best of luck if you decide to proceed with a Silkworm breeding project of your own. (y)

From what I've read online, you can hatch the eggs by keeping them at 80+ degrees F or you can store them in a plastic bag in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator until you're ready to hatch them. I haven't read anything to-date about specific humidity requirements. I plan on hatching this...

Female Silkworm laying eggs.

The only difference is I'm pretty sure @nick barta does his breeding deliberately, whereas my breeding is still happening accidentally - Laugh! :ROFLMAO:

Apparently, this thread has powers of causation! I've literally never seen a snail around my house before. Then, I read this thread over the weekend... And I find this guy hanging out earlier today!?! o_O Found a snail... by NERVOUS posted Apr 11, 2016 at 12:44 PM So, now I'm reading up on...

She started laying eggs as soon as I isolated her from the 3 males she's currently being housed with; which leads me to believe they were ganging up on her - Poor little thing! I estimate there are roughly 250 - 300 eggs in total! (y) From what I've read, she's probably done laying eggs...

We have eggs - LOTS of them! It's awesome to watch this process unfold... Nature is truly amazing! Silkworm eggs by NERVOUS posted Apr 10, 2016 at 5:51 PM DISCLAIMER: Yes, I'm using the term 'nature' loosely here. :LOL:

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by 'put her in a paper towel roll'... Can you elaborate a bit?
