Be cautions when removing poo pellets, or don't remove them at all since thats where the eggs will reside. Also be extremely careful when cleaning or replacing the substrate after they hatch, since its easy to miss them. It is also a good idea to make sure your have a well sealed lid, since the babies can more easily climb up the glue in the corners of the tank (if your tank is like that). Finally, if you have a water dish, fill it with stones so it is very shallow, or use a sponge instead, so the babies do not drown. Good luck!
