Thanks for all replies. This clutch was laid on 5/28 so should hatch at 2nd or 3rd week in july, I've heard a sunk-in look can be common at hatch time, but these aren't there yet. I replaced them in a slightly larger container with peat as a substrate.



The large grain vermiculite seemed very dry and even bound to some of the eggs. When I sifted through it after removing the eggs, it was more hydrated at the bottom of the container. Maybe where I went wrong was not mixing it up by hand, but just adding water and believing it would evenly distribute. From other forum user's pics, it appears people are either using a finer grade vermiculite or else it becomes finer after mixing.



We'll see what happens!
