We are sooo excited to share our first eggs of the season! She is a normal who was bred to a spider, pastel het ghost and enchi so we'll see what pops out! She gave us 5 healthy eggs. I didn't expect eggs until Saturday the earliest so this was a fun surprise this morning!! Thanks for looking! I just had to share!

Michelle:)

Congrats! It is such a cool feeling to open the tub and see that! :gj:

Thanks! It is! Especially when I wasn't expecting it! I freaked out my husband when I ran into the bedroom screaming!

Haha! I did the same thing when I found my first eggs in March! Congratulations! :D

Congrats on the clutch! I hope they turn out great for you.

Regards,

Just realized I now have to wait until JULY to see the hatchlings! lol! It is going to be a LONG two months! Hopefully I'll have some other eggs to keep me occupied!

LOL Congrats! If it makes you feel any better, you should be able to see movement in the eggs in about two weeks through candling. ;) Getting to "see" them helps pass the time a little.

Congrats! I hope these next two months go by quickly for you ;)

really?? I never knew that! That is awsome! Thanks for telling me!

Word of caution, Since your using substratless, you do NOT want to have the press n seal on the tub. And you want to make sure the vermiculite is WET..

If you keep the press n seal on it your causing too much humidity thus youll get condensation when can cause the eggs to sweat,get wet and mold.


Just get the vermiculite soaking wet and put the tub lid on it. Thats all you need to do

Excellent advise Rich, I had that issue last season, no more press n seal for me...
I just soak the substrate under the light diffuser and place 4 tiny holes on the tubs sides for ventilation and my tubs hold 90% humidity and no mold issues.

Congrats on the first eggies!

Congratulations on the clutch. :gj:

you would use it when you have the eggs sitting IN the vermiculite where your doing a 1 to 1 Ratio of water to vermiculite.

Congrats on your 1st clutch, the only thing more exciting is seeing their little heads poking out looking at you in 2 months.. :gj:

Lol I think all my females got together and decided to wait as long as possible and than all have there pre lay shed within 5 days of each other..

I really really think the cold long winter pushed everything back! Seems everyone is late this year! And I don't know how I am going to wait either! The thought of it being mid summer by the time I see babies is unfathomable! lol! Good luck!
