awwww s/he is so cute, congrats happy the eggs made it.

Congrats, I am so glad everything turned out okay:gj::gj:

Congrats:gj:!

Congrats! :)
Most of the issues with substrateless would be due to too much air flow. You need a full seal to keep the humidity high--every tiny gap has to be closed. I tape over all the holes in my hovabators when I do substrateless incubation.

Substrate incubation is a little more forgiving of air flow, since the substrate holds the humidity where it touches the eggs. Still, I enjoy seeing nice new hatchlings pop out without little pieces of vermiculite stuck in their heat pits, lol.

Wow beautiful spider...

Amazing how they came out so healthy out of those dimpled eggs

This is absolutley true. I lost an 11 egg clutch doing substrateless, they just dried out and died, and I could not make sense of it. How can you possibly get more humidity than having the eggs in a box over 2 inches of water ? When I got my second clutch I tried it again, but the second time around I put a hygrometer in the box. Imagine my shock when the humidity never went over 30% :O!

Took the lid off the box, wrapped it in four layers of plastic wrap {press and seal and I don't mix} and boom humidity off the chart and healthy babies 61 days later.

One of the normals head was popping out too :D

But I'm too tired ( and lazy :rolleyes: ) to walk back down two sets of stairs to take pics. I'll get them and post them up tomorrow. Yay!!
