Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Silkworms are making cocoons!
Uhm, I can't figure out how to upload my picture... has that option been disabled?
Are there any special requirements to help them hatch from cacoons?
Do the moths need to be put in a new container?
How do you find, then move eggs to petri dish?
I've read, but their are no thorough caresheets that I can find.

Both questions can depend on conditions such as temperature, humidity feeding of the worms before pupation
Bigger worms usually make bigger female moths that lay more eggs, of course after mating.
good luck

Can you answer the questions in the first post too? Thanks so much if you can, I was also wondering if you can refridgerate them and they go dormant?

Well the cocoons just leave them be at room temp and they will be moths.
Put the moths in a new container let them breed and wait for the eggs.
If the eggs are dropped move them like you would anything small , if they are attached leave them be and move the caterpillers when they hatch.
These guys are a great high calcuim addition to the diet of most lizards, of course when I raise them I use them for T's
Peace man
