Ok so I have set up a test faunarium, with extra mesh glued over the vents to prevent any escape artists. And theres afew adults in there now, two have difinately paired up, and are 'cuddleing in a special way' all day long. My question is what do the eggs look like? as I have found yellow like capsuals clustered together just about on the floor. Not sure if these are eggs? and the locusts havent found my jars of moist sand? or is it just poo? haha

I have babies!! Ive had a tank full of locusts mating and laying for the last 2/3 weeks...didnt think anything was going to hatch! They were not there this morning, had a look this afternoon and found about 8 of these:
 Im well pleased. I now have locusts and roaches on the go, breeding away, and looked at my waxworm culture today...found moths!! Will soon be feeding all home bred feeders (fingers crossed)

Congrats on your new locusts!
 Has anyone had much success in using just a heatmat and no spot light?

They dont need light, if you can use heatmats to get the temperature up enough then they will breed

Does anyone know how to sex locusts? As mine are all turning into adults, and they are all either pinky or beige colour, none are yellow. I would hate for them all to turn out the same sex

Yep...took a good couple of weeks for mine to change colour...the difference in colour and size gave away their sex (smaller yellow ones male, larger pink/buff ones females)
