Hey,



Congrats on the eggs! I used pearlite for mine. For most people that is not the prefered way of incubation but it works for me. Keep the eggs moist and in the low 80s constantly. Actually the babies are not real hard to get started. When they hatch give them a little time, they probably will not eat until after their first shed. Then they will eat crickets with no problem. Then it might be a little work onto pinks, but should not be too hard. Most people are shocked when I tell them ALL adult racers will readily accept crickets. I owned most of the racers in the states and they all take crickets, if they are 1 foot to 4 feet. It will be interesting to see what happens with your babies! If you get an extra pair you want to part with let me know. I am breeding racers and I have been trying to hunt down a nice pair of buttermilks.

Later,

William
