Ybyrapora diversipes – Amazon Sapphire Pinktoe

Initial Breeding Date :  September 2025
Opening date of Egg sack : 24 October 2025
Stage : First Instar
Temperature : 29°C
Relative Humidity : 85%
Breeding loan conditions : None , Male and Female belongs to Gerald
Total slings : TBA “to be announced”
Note : The male and female were paired four times during September, and an eggsac was discovered on 24 October 2025.
We initially experienced some challenges determining the ideal conditions for this species. Under drier conditions, the eggsacs required higher humidity to develop properly; however, when we increased humidity without sufficient airflow, the eggsacs became non-viable.

After the fifth eggsac, we identified the optimal balance — maintaining higher humidity with improved cross ventilation. This adjustment resulted in two additional eggsacs, both successful. The first of these showed lower fertility, yielding 11 slings, while the second eggsac appears highly fertile, with only about 5% infertile eggs.

The females were paired in cooler temperatures and later produced eggsacs at around 29°C with humidity levels of 85% or higher.
