    eggs before a move?
    OK, I breed a blackbee 100 het ghost (spider, black pastel) to two large normal females early in the year. I witnessed copulations in both females but only observed ovulation in one of them. The one I observed ovulation laid 8 eggs and 2 hatched out last month. I know exactly what i did wrong with that clutch and will avoid the mistakes in the future.
    To my surprise the second female laid eggs last night (8 healthy eggs and one slug). I set them up and everything is looking good at day 1...lol. My dilemma is I am in the military and I have to move to a new luty location in a few weeks. Anyone have any recommendations on how to accomplish this move. I am going from VA to KY which is going to be about a 10-12 hour drive plus load and unload time. I really do not know how to handle this situation and would like evrybodies suggestions. Thanks in advance for any help. Todd

    A good icechest and cooling or heating packs as necessary. A digital thermometer with a remote probe so you can monitor without opening the container.

    With those basics, you should be fine. Keep them in the cab with you, not on the floor.

    Good luck.

    I would get a DC/AC power inverter. Just keep them in them in the incubator and plug it in to your cars power outlet. I am not positive if a proportional tstat will run off this but a on/off type definitely will. You can probably find the inverter for around $20 and if you don't have an on/off tstat they can be bought for about the same price.
