B. Lateralis. Maybe I'll get answer in own thread.

I need to know how long it is supposed to take a B. lateralis to lay eggs. More specifically, how long or is it at all, supposed to stay attached to the females rear? Have a female (just got these yesterday) that has an egg case attached for just over 24hrs. Want to know if this is normal. Not a whole lot of info on the actual process to egg laying.

I think that is normal. I havent had mine for very long, and they seem to drop ootheca weekly. It reminds me of how a fruit will grow on a tree, then it will rippen and fall to the ground. The mothers glue some of the ootheca to the egg crates they live in for incubation.(I think its pretty cool)

Thanks for the response, guess I am worrying about nothing.
