Under perfect conditions, they are supposed to be able to double the population within a few months, as long as there is space for them. It was actually really cool to learn about. They lay their eggs in little "cocoons" made of slime, and those cocoons can dry up and sit dormant for years until conditions are good for the babies to hatch out.

So how many can you sustain in a five gallon bucket?

I'm not sure. I just noticed that, for a while, I was finding lots of those little cocoons, and then they stopped. When I split them up, the cocoons started showing up again. I guess there's something about population pressure that causes them to quit laying eggs.
