Eggs!!!! Now what?

ShariB Jul 04, 2005 06:37 PM

I found my first clutch of Northern Pine eggs today.
I cannot remember incubation temps or duration.
Can any body help me out?

She laid nine HUGE eggs. Is that a small clutch? (I am more familiar with corns.)

9 eggs is a decent clutch for a northern pine. They definitely don't lay as many as corns. If you've incubated corn eggs before you can probably incubate your pine eggs the exact same way.

I incubate mine in moistened vermiculite or perlite (approximately 1:1 ratio of incubation medium and water by weight). Incubate mine at 78-80F and they usually hatch in 65-75 days.
