lovebugfarm Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 So I have had my 2 groups of assassins mombo and whitespot a month now. They are laying lots of eggs and I have been placeing them on damp sand but still no hatching. No sign of mold from what I can tell. They are kept at room temp should they be in my hot room? Also theres the color I think they are starting out black but some are brown. Can someone explain the color difference? Have the brown ones gone bad or are they about to hatch? Any help will be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariblatta lutea Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I'd wait a bit longer if I were you. They take about 1~3 months to hatch depending on condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovebugfarm Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 Ahh ok I had heard 1 sometimes 2 its interesting to hear it can be 3 months do you think heat is a factor? Do they like it hot to speed up development? Thanks for the reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovebugfarm Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 Update they started hatching last week but now I cant figure out how to feed them they dont seem to be very active hunters. They ignore the lateralis nymphs I put in there a choped up a superworm but cant tell if they are eating but they seem larger. I put in a waxworm they seem afraid of... They are seperate from the adults and it seems theres no detailed care instructions every thing just says thier super easy and you dont have to do anything but I want to be more proactive in thier care. Any suggestions on raising nymphs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariblatta lutea Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 How old are they? They won't eat for about 3 days after hatching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovebugfarm Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 They started hatching april 28th so thier 9-10 days old is there a chance they eat the other eggs in thier incubator cup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
