>>Congratulations, T-Hound...!!!! I'm real happy for you! I suspect you may be lamenting not having hatched every egg but you have to look at it from the perspective that every egg you did hatch is a GIFT. That, and try to examine all that happened, especially the last week of maternal incubation, and try to learn from it. Fact is we learn more from our mistakes than successes...the trick is figuring out what happened.
Regarding the babies - I would suggest a thermogradient ranging from ~ 78-83F, and I would suggest spraying them down maybe once a day...perhaps twice when they go into shed...all depending on your setup.
Good luck and keep up the good work...TW

I should not spray them down right now every day (twice)? also I have A brooder set up so hopefully that will work for humidity and the water should be hot enough to keep them at the required temp.Man Mr. Walsh Im happier than A kid in A candy store (LOL)
Thanks:
The Hound

>>Generally speaking, I like to provide a peak in both temp and humidity during the day, with a gradual drop in both at night. It is not wise to keep the animals at a point of near saturation all the time. If you do over an extended period chances are that you will experience problems with accessive fungas and bacterial growth in the cage...maybe on the animals...TW
