So you have here for about 3 weeks now. hmm... She should be starting to lay eggs soon.
:D Good news - Spotted 2 eggs in there !
it takes time but it will happen :)
Very nice to hear Gary D, keep us updated.
Wow - there are about 6-7 eggs now and instead of running up and down the tube when i inspect she sits protecting the eggs!
things are moving along. roughly how long before egg = worker??
Depending on temperature, is would say about 4-8 weeks.
Today I cant see the eggs anywhere in the tube.. Maybe they have been eaten :(
Sorry to hear that Gary, could be. I hope not.
I have spotted at least 4 of the eggs - they have been moved to the other end of the tube away from herself and the cotton wool :? Is this normal behaviour?
they may move to the other end if it is more suitable. basically they move the eggs to the best environment for the egg depending on variables (temperature, humidity), maybe the other end is warmer?
