7 beautiful jewels....

pictures to follow but my early girl Woma clutch hatched this past weekend at 59 days, 86-87 deg average, unfortunately 3 others did not hatch but contained fully formed young, there were pip marks on the shell on one but I did not manually pip since the others were coming out fine. I later learned that a low humidity level experienced in one of the egg tubs led to a partial collapse of the shell in these 3 eggs, which I believe "trapped" the youngsters prohibiting them from breaking free. Oh well, live and learn, and apply it to the next round.
I am VERY happy wiht what I got though!

pics to come

Lateralis, you seem to be very consistent.
Do you put a wet layer of vermiculite followed by a dry layer and then place the eggs on top of that before you cover the individual containers?

Have you ever had a bad clutch?
