My New Anallacta methanoides Ootheca! (Edited)

I just got an ootheca (2 actually, though one sadly got crushed during the trip over here), of this lovely species from a good friend of mine, Sebastien Marcaillou, I'm very happy to have an ootheca from this unique species, and I'm really hoping that I can help to establish them in culture in the US again, as apparently all the other colonies here have died out.

I have it housed in a small sized plastic container with coconut fiber as the substrate, which I am trying to keep semi-moist, and have bark pieces and dead leaves as hides. I will be feeding the resulting nymphs, (should I get any) dog food and veggies.

Here are some pictures of the ootheca:

And some pics of the enclosure

Really hoping that the ootheca will hatch and that the nymphs will do well for me, I would really love for this species to be established in the US hobby again, it's such a unique and interesting Ectobiid!

Well, that's going to be it for this post, I hope you guys enjoyed, it's very rare that I post two days in a row, but I really didn't want to wait any longer to share this great news! Anyways, I'll see you all next time! :)

EDIT: Well unfortunately this ooth turned out to be a dud, after a few hours of being in a moist enclosure the seam down the middle loosened up and revealed that the insides were black and rotten. :(

Don't know if it died during shipping or if it was just an infertile ooth, either way I won't be getting any nymphs from it unfortunately. Oh well, will just have to try again later I suppose, just goes to show, don't judge an ooth by it's outer appearance, because while it may look healthy, it could be dead inside! (Like all my Dorylaea orini ooths....).
