Zephyr Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I pulled out 3 ooths from my primary colony of N. rhombifolia to see if they'd hatch at room temp (67-72). I kept the humidity pretty high (part of the paper towel they were on molded up a little.) After about 2 months, they finally hatched. (The others, kept at nearly 90 degrees, hatched possibly 2-3 weeks after being laid!) There are quite a few babies (only 2 ooths have hatched so far) and I believe the other ooth will hatch soon too. I know many people are having trouble with this species; my best advice is to warm up the adults to increase production and keep the humidity very high.

BugmanPrice Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Good info, I think the problem I had was low humidity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roachman26 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Ugh! Now you guys are making me want to try them! Knock it off will ya?! I've got enough species. Well, I guess there always room for one more... or two or three... I did just build six new bins to have around as extras... Great experiment. Thanks for posting that.

RosenKrieger Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 When I had them, I kept a piece of plastic wrap over the top of the critter keeper between the container and the lid with some small holes poked in it, and had a couple successful ooth hatchings even at room temp.
