How do you hatch spiny leaf insect eggs?

Answer 1

First of all if your wondering whats the best way to speed up their egg laying rate, first you will need a wide enough tank for your female and male to grow. put the tank/cage into a sunny spot, but make sure its not two hot or to cold for them. When your female spiny leaf insect has enough sun she tends to swell up with eggs, increasing the population of her brood.

Now that she has laid eggs, you carefully place the eggs into a container with either river sand, soild, or some moist tanbark mixed with soil, make sure the container has a lid with a small slit like a money box for air. when you are placing the eggs if you take a close look there is a small cap on the top of the egg, try to keep that side from going into the dirt.

Now taking care of these eggs requires patience, first of all the eggs require a mist spray of water approximately once ever 2-3 days. Make sure the dirt/soil is not dry but moist. Now the time period for the eggs, the baby leaf insects will hatch at 4-6 months or in some longer time periods 1-2 years. This usually depends on the care of your eggs.

The leaf insects eggs also require natural day light, or if your in a darker place then you can have a lamp for the eggs. leave the lamp on four a natural day light times. Care for your leaf insects, your spiny leaf insects eucalyptus or gum leafs will require a mist spray of water 1-2 times a day. if the female and male do not mate then the eggs will only be females, but if they do then you will hatch both genders.

Answer 2

Spiny leaf insect eggs hatch on their own after a few months. The eggs need to be kept in a warm and humid environment for best hatching success. Ensure that the eggs are laid in a suitable substrate and kept at the right temperature and humidity levels for successful hatching.
