The substrate might look wet but it is really damp. When I pick up the substrate, there is no water. So, I think it is good. I squeeze every last drop out of it before I put it in.

I would take your recommendation on using vermiculite but honestly, I don't really want to move these eggs too much. I already moved it twice, and I am not even sure if I rotated any. I did my best on not and as gentle as I can. Now, I am a bit concern since you guys are adamant with not rotating them.

BTW... How long does egg laying happen after copulation?

Thank You for the confirmation.
