When are my Black convicts going to hatch

23 14:37:03

Question
I have a black convict having babies for the third time of the year. My green terror is the mate. So my question is how long will it take them to hatch and be an adult?

Answer
Hi Isaac,
 Convict eggs take about 3 days to hatch.  However, those eggs may not ever hatch because they will be a hybrid between two species.  If they do hatch, you will have a real problem because hybrids are very problematic.
