My female box wenonah laid her second clutch last night. She started at around 8 and didn't finish till some time around 2 am. The first clutch I never found and is in her enclosure somewhere. She laid five eggs, four are huge healthy eggs, the fifth is very tiny and odd shaped. I placed the eggs in my hovabator. My question is what is the best medium to use. I'm using vermiculite but I always struggle in trying to figure out the proper moisture level. Do you guys completely cover the eggs? I haven't had success with previous eggs and I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Also should I be concerned about one of the eggs being so small and kind of deformed?
