DynastesDee Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 Hi everyone, I have a Dynastes tityus female that has laid around 80 eggs so far. What was the most amount of eggs a single Dynastes tityus female has laid for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your number is a little too much? 102 eggs fertile eggs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynastes TItyus hunter Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 102, that is a lot. Nice job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DynastesDee Posted June 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 I don’t know, a lot of them seem fertile to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DynastesDee Posted June 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 I already have 25 larvae that have hatched from these eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garin Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Man, that is awesome! Congrats! I don't have much experience with D tityus. Goliathus has been breeding them for a long, long time. Many generations of them so I'm curious what he would say. Do you mind sharing what your egg laying setup was like? How deep was the substrate, what kind of substrate and how long did it take to get 102 eggs? Thank you in advance for any information. You are going to need lots and lots of substrate for those hungry grubs. That is crazy. Oh, was it a wild caught female or a captive bred female?

Dynastes TItyus hunter Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 It's probably going to be a captive bred female. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynastes Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 I have never seen more than 60 from a single female of this species, I know it is possible and I am curious the source of the female. Do you have a picture of all the eggs together? Why do you have only one female? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DynastesDee Posted July 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 Most of the eggs have already hatched. So far I have 55 larvae and counting. A lot more eggs turned out to be more infertile then I thought. Pm sent to answer more questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynastes TItyus hunter Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 How did you get that much eggs from just one female? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynastes TItyus hunter Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 When you think about it a 102 eggs from one female is a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DynastesDee Posted July 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 I honestly didn’t expect the female to lay that many eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the egg you collect doesn't swell up like a golf ball in a week or so, it means it's infertile. How big are their eggs initially, and how big do they get when they swell up? Like literal golf ball size? I just found 10 eggs that are each about 5.5mm x 4mm in my flake soil while transferring it to a deeper enclosure, but I'm not sure if they're from my D. Tityus pair who passed a few weeks ago, that I'm just now noticing because of their increased size, or if they're newly laid eggs from my pair of D. Hercules Hercules. They were only in 4 inches of flake, so I wasn't expecting eggs already, whereas my Tityus were in 10 inches of flake for several months and never produced eggs that I could find.

QuissettHouse Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 Did you just revive a 2.5 year old thread to hijack it and ask if your mystery eggs will get as big as golf balls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuissettHouse Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 Bringing the conversation to a new topic (e.g. what size your mystery eggs will get to since you elected not to remove them before a different species laid in the same container, and not the original quantity of egg question) instead of making your own is the definition of hijacking. Maybe before bringing your nonsense to a community you HAVEN'T yet been banned from, you should use this as an opportunity try following the etiquette of a group and turn over a new leaf. Including the discussion of illegally kept exotics in the US. I know you think you can do no wrong, but multiple communities having ejected you should be enough for SOME self reflection. Just consider. Also, you're not helpless. Googling "Dynastes hercules eggs" has a number of VERY detailed pictures with size measurement of eggs for reference. It wouldn't kill you to put in some effort. For the sake of the beetles you're killing with poor care, if nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
