Well 50% is about normal. I like to keep mine around 60%, its what I have found to work well. who knows...


300 large nymph's is the PERFECT starter colony IMO. Not to low numbers, but not so high that you send a ton of money. And with large nymphs, over adults, you don't have to worry about a bunch dying off due to "old age" or something else.

so while it will take 1-3 months for them to molt and be ready to breed, you will get the most babies, and production due to all of them being good breeding adults!
