February 4th, 2009- Mating took place. Southern hemisphere late summer, humidity generally 50-60%.
Interim- winter comes (June/July), I let the enclosure dry out slightly. Humidity generally dropped to about 40% with temperatures hovering around 24C daytime, 20C night-time.
I dropped in about 1L of water into the enclosure (30cm x 30cm x 30cm) about 2 weeks before the egg sac was laid.
August 12th, 2009- Egg sac laid. Temps for the past couple weeks have been closer to 28C.
September 2nd, 2009- pulled the egg sac to reveal contents (day 21). 401 eggs inside.
September 7th, 2009 - over the past 12 hours, nearly all eggs have now hatched into nymphs. (day 26). Eggs were kept at 27-28C for most of their development.
and the final product:
