Yes, this is our first year. Our females are all first timers also. The first female laid 10 eggs five were slugs. We used vermiculite and perlite in a 6qt. sterilite. Incubator was set at 82 degrees. The loose fitting lid and the wind turbulance dried the medium out. We added water over and over and eventually lost all 5.
The second female laid 12 four were slugs. We used the same medium and temp with a tighter lid and a pin hole in it. Humidity is better but the are still going bad. Of the eight we are down to 3 left with one of them going south.
