There ya go. that's what I got.

Any update? I just got mine setup and was wondering how yours is doing.

*** Sigh *** Nothing yet, I'm still thinking I need to heat the container to 85 degrees. I don't have anyplace to heat it up at the moment.

 

[Carnivorouszoo]

Huh, I have mine in a room where its 80-89 F pretty much all the time. Hope that helps. Good luck!

Care if I join in...

All my moths have kicked the bucket, I removed them and placed my substrate (Honey, WeetBix, Pronutro, Glycerine and a bit of golden Syprup, I also have beehive wax and honey combs pieces in there, the beekeeper was nice enough to include some) inside the container, it's pretty warm in my reptile room around 28 degrees celcius. I"m just wondering how long it will take for tiny worms to emerge.

Things is I have not seen an egg at all, I've looked and looked, I've even used a magnifying glass.

I was told a week to 10 days for the eggs to hatch. I haven't seen anything either but my temperatures are probably too low. I'm thinking I might put a heating pad under the container to see what happens. I'm losing hope that I will see any worms hatch

I just now got Glycerin, so hopefully I can set up a little experiment today

Just to clarify, ATM what are your temps at Larry?

right now the temps are around 70 during the day which I know are too cold. I've read that it should be around 85 throughout the whole process. I've also read the mid 70s would be ok but it would take longer for the process to take place.

 

[Claudiusx]

Oh good, the closet I would be keeping them in stays about 80 thanks to my dubia bins heating pad lol.
