thanks...only thing that threw me off....was both the male and female that i bred were a tad smaller than normal...but i do know that missouri was over run by them since the early 80s when orthaceas became readily avalibe through magazine adds....either way...these boogers are growing at lighting speed....out of 2 egg cases ive had about 350 born...aout 200 still alive...id sell someif they werentillegal to ship across missouri state lines....but i dont wanna break any laws...so im going to enjoy them all to my self i suppose
