Caryl Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I didn't know they were that shape :-? Are more on the way? I assume she will lay a clutch of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougstark Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Only egg this time. Have an incubator for hatching tho it will take a while, as they can take up to three months to hatch. Did find another egg but it was only about a third the size and it was in the bottom of the pond. :bounce: :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 good sign just getting eggs, do you know if the female has been mated? i know of someone with reeves that are of size but never laid, or atleast theyve never seen eggs which surprise's me a bit.

livingart Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 i have hatched eggs retrieved from the bottom of a pond it depends on how long the egg has been submerged for and how much water it has absorbed good luck with it dougstark keep your eye on her she may lay again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
