I woke up this morning to find that the female Pseustes sulphureus decided to lay her eggs a little early. She's coiled around two pearly white ones so far. As for information about temperatures, medium, etc. She's in a rubbermaid container, partially filled with about a 1 1/2 inch layer of ground coconut husk and long fiber sphagnum, which I keep slightly moist, with some leaf litter over the top to provide some shelter. I also keep the cage walls covered to provide some added security. I haven't been incorporating a night drop, but yesterday was hot and I decided I would turn off the heat for the afternoon through to the next morning. The temperatures are actually in the mid 70s as we speak. Later, if I can do it without disturbing her, I'll try to get some shots of her nesting for everyone.

Hope all is well.
