Nice, too bad she passed away. It's all good, she gave you a going away present. Good luck with them eggs.

Really really simple, I only fed her blackberry bramble throughout her life. I would clip a huge chunk of vine w/ leaves(wearing gloves), wash each leaf under the faucet, remove her from her kritter keeper and carefully maneuver the vine so it was everywhere in the tank. I held her every day, she was so cool. I misted her tank about every other day. All she did was eat, poop, (little hard pellets), and sway gently like a leaf in the breeze. Excellent to handle. I kept her at normal house temperatures, although they do fine at warmer temps too. She lived fine her whole life in my regular human indoor atmosphere.

Incidentally, they eat A LOT and poop A LOT so a three foot chunk of vine w/leaves would last about 1 week. Over the winter I had to try a little harder to find blackberry bramble... so that would be a bit tough if you live in a very snowy area. They can also eat some types of lettuce, which you can learn about googling for Australian walking stick (or Extatosoma tiaratum). They're popular in schools and stuff.
