SO LONG FEMALE ON SUBSTRATE

[Colombia_Chams]

is it normal for the female to be day and a half on the substrate doing the laying and Dont come out ??? Thanks

Possiable to take that long. What kind of substrate are you using? Have you checked to make sure the hole hasn’t caved in on her?

I use coconut substrate, and the cave is intact, she is still inside in the cave.

Ok, just leave her alone and let her take care of business. She needs complete privacy to lay so make sure she is covered with a sheet or towel.

Shes done with the laying... 44 eggs !!

Yes, they do eat allot. I had 31 babies and they were eating 4,000 crickets a week plus all the other feeders.

Wow! That's quite a lot of insects!

Yes, it is and I’d buy fruit flies, micro superworms by the thousand, keep mantis ooths all the time, have Phoenix worms most of the time and baby silkworms most of the time. I never regret the money spend because I have precious happy and healthy babies.

Wow, you are going to be a busy bee arent you?
