To incubate get something like a cool whip or butter container. Fill it about 2/3rds of the way with vermiculite (check stores like orchard supply that have garden centers). The vermiculte should be damp but not wet. About 1 part vermiculite to about .8 parts water by weight should work fine. Alternatively get the vermiculite wet and squeeze out as much water as you possibly can and use that. Place the eggs about 3/4ths buried. Be careful to place them in the substrate in the same orientation you found them in, don't rotate them or you'll drown the embryo. You should probably peek at the eggs daily (don't put any holes in the lid) to remove moldy or bad eggs. The eggs should have no odor, if they smell there's a bad one. Once all the eggs look good weekly or biweekly checks will be sufficient. Put the container somewhere in your house where the temperature is relatively stable. At room temp they typically hatch in 1 and a half to two months. [ Reply To This Message ] [ Subscribe to this Thread ] [ Show Entire Thread ] | ||
