How long was the incubation time on the eggs? I supposedly have one of the giants on eggs right now.

1 month for eggs to hatch
Interesting. People tell me that the gaints have a fast development rate for the eggs. If mine hasn’t eaten them it’ll be 6-7 weeks since they were laid

You’re looking at 2-3 months in total until they’re on their own

Nope, those species is the one where the offspring eat the mother. I heard it's a necessity for that particular species since it's a natural process.
Wow, that is fascinating. What do the pedelings gain from eating the mom? Maybe helps them with their exoskeleton growth?

I can't say to be honest. While I do know the bare basics of pedes, my experience and knowledge on pedes are very vague and not too experienced compared to most other people on this specific thread.
