Every body has their own preferences I'm sure, but I wonder how you all keep your eggs? I will be getting two female henks in May for my male, and hope to have eggs by next winter. I know it's way early, but always better to have time to consider all the options and work out any kinks. Pictures would really help.

I keep my eban's and phants in the 68-71 range. Room temp for the most part. Works really well. I've got no success this year though in comparison to last year. total bummer but I'm still waiting, there are two to hatch this month and then a june and july. Hoping hoping hoping they are successful. All have a dark spot and veins so may be.

I've tried using perlite recently and wasn't very impressed with it. Last year I used an organic potting soil, which worked extremely well. So I've gone back to using the potting soil (no vermiculite or perlite added to it). I just place the eggs in about 2/3 of the way covered and keep the dirt moist and use a moistened paper towel over it. Works really well for me.
Ask Bsmith about his technique. his is pretty in depth.
Cheers
