[QUOTE="Vermis, post: 206652, member: 37487"] Hello all. After a few manic months at work, when my invert collection was put on maintenance mode, I finally had a minute to think about this morio colony. I figured that was my problem: too much thinking. The larvae left in the coir substrate with the adults suffered no problems as far as I can see, and needed no careful monitoring. I chucked the adults in another tub with fresh coir and a bit of food, and the next day I spotted a bunch of eggs around the sides and bottom. It looks like they don't even need bark or egg cartons to lay in, like a couple of older books led me to believe. The most complicated thing in the whole process was keeping an eye on the isolated pupae. Otherwise it's as simple as tipping food in and watching them blow up. I'm always surprised by how voracious they are too. They make my roach colonies look like picky eaters. So now that I have a minute, and a bunch of happily multiplying tubs of livefood, maybe time to write up a sling shopping list for January. [/QUOTE]
