i dug them up this morning. the mom seemed a lil disturbed that i was digging up her burying site. but i pulled up 2 nice big eggs about 2 or 3 inches under some moss near the top of the cage. mom is a chevron back(?) dark harley and dad is a more lighter colored harley. mom below

i just opened my first 3 eggs from my cresties after about 85 days. one was starting to " sweat" really bad and looked like it was getting softer. apparently they all drowned.... i talked to anthony and came to the conclusion that it was because i had been spraying them directly with the sprayer. i was unaware of this as being a problem. they were also the first clutches from my first 2 females. also he said when he first started out on babyfood and crickets, he only had about a 50% hatch rate. since he switched to completely cgd and dusted crickets it's up to 90-100%
just thought it may be some useful information for you.
