i put about 10-15 locusts in a tank with a 60 watt light bulb, and a cut down milk carton of sand, moistened. Eventually they lay, you can tell 'cos of the hole in the sand. You need to keep the sand slightly damp. But keeping them warm is the key, apparently.

Here's a link to more info:- http://www.knight-weaver.com/pras/locustcs.htm

Although, I was working on a kinda smaller scale, and egg boxes or cardboard are okay instead of brances
