I don't know about locusts first hand but from what I've read your setup and temps sound right. Was there a big cooldown overnight? Perhaps something was wrong with their food or you just got unlucky with an unhealthy batch.

Ah that sucks would be they were old? I did find when I started to breed mine they needed quite good air flow, apparently they breathe through their skin and humidity causes suffocation. Not sure if that's if any use! Good thing you have eggs though, hopefully they hatch :)

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
