i think everyone around here agrees that rotating the eggs should be avoided if possible, even though theres a few of us who have had mishaps where eggs were dropped or rolled with the hatchlings till making it out in the end. personally, i've had success using both peat moss and perlite as substrates. just be sure to keep them cool.

good luck.

well it s usually between perlite and vermiculite, i think perlite is a little better cause it is more consistant and holds water more "ubiquitously" sorry, had to use that word, too tempting.
