About 2 years ago I bought a female Spiny Leaf Insect from the pet store. In the time I had her she laid about 30 eggs, since I bought her when she was about 10 months, she died about 3 months after I got her from old age. I was told the eggs can take up to 1 to 2 years to hatch and to keep them in a small box on some sand. I kept them in a small dark container on some river gravel for about a year. I didn't spray them with water often, maybe once a month when I remembered them. I kept forgetting about them and after about a year and a half none had hatched. They were kept at a good temperature but after about two years they still havent hatched. I found the remains of one shell so I think one may have hatched, but i dont know what happened to it if it did, or maybe it died and was too small for me to find, which sounds horrible . I've now put them on some damp cotton wool in the container, but I'm not sure they'll ever hatch now, after leaving them for so long. Do you think they still have a chance? Is there any way of making sure? I also heard soaking them in warm water for a while will speed it up, should I try anyway?
