I think antaresia are very easy to hatch. I mix the vermiculite like I would for anything else (dry side). I have had well over 100 childrens, 75 or so spotteds 50 or so stimsoni and I just hatched the 4 good perthensis eggs I had (first time). I incubate at 88.5F and I bet I have only had 3-5 that failed to hatch in the 10 years I have worked with the genus.
