    Buried Eggs?

    Hello, my name is Sarah. My boyfriend and I are very new to breeding. Our female spider has mated with a male pastel and just laid her eggs on 6/10. As first time breeders we are trying our best but are still worried about the eggs and the incubation process. My main concern is that now that we have the eggs in the incubator, some of the eggs on the bottom are covered by substrate almost to the top. Is this a bad thing? Could it produce mold being that deep? Should we dig them out or should we try not to disturb the eggs as much as possible? Thank you!

    Re: Buried Eggs?

    The less you disturb the eggs the better. If they are covered with the incubation medium that is ok. The eggs can still breathe through the medium. Triple check your temps and humidity and make sure they are correct. Did you guys use the press and seal around the tubs? Check the eggs once a week to add water and to circulate fresh air and you should be good. Don't add very much water at all. Good luck!
    Stay in peace and not pieces.
