Just curious what you all offer your w. hogs to lay eggs in.

Thanks,

Chris

I take an appropriate sized glad ware container, with a hole cut in the lid. Fill it about 1/3 full with damp spagnum moss. Same thing I use as a moist hide when they are in shed. Use the same for my Tricolors, and all my females lay in them without any issues. Then I carefully move the eggs into the incubation medium. I do always mark the position of each egg, so it is easy to visually tell which end is up. I find my early hatchers like to turn the other eggs as they crawl around.

I put about a 1/3 of sphagnum peat moss in the bottom of my laying boxes then put about a 1/3 of moiste sphagnum moss over that.
