Hint The eggs are very sensible against predators like springtails. Thus the substrate has to be free of all small organisms. Cocos- humus is recommended. The females test the substrate by "test- borings", so many holes can be found in the substrate.

Eggs: The eggs are packed in eye- packages. One package contains 30- 50 eggs. For the laying a box must be given, filled with cocos- humus or earth. The size should be at least 10cm x 10cm x 15cm. The substrate has to be kept dampish.
