I really Like this incubation method a cup in a cup nice little hatchling too.

I'm very sad to report that he did not live through his first night. His mom was wild caught, and she laid the eggs very soon after I acquired her. I suspect he was simply too weak due his mother's not being in proper condition.

The two L. williamsi that hatched in the same cup are doing great.

I'm hoping my conradti will give me more eggs in the future, as they're filled out, healthy, and behaving normally now.

The smaller cup has dry vermiculite in it, while the vermiculite around it is moistened. The hard-shelled eggs don't fare well if they come in direct contact with moisture, so this was the recommended method for incubating them.
