Between college and RL, I haven't been on here in a while, but I need help.

Over the winter, I paired my fire male with my pastel female a few times and saw copulation, but never saw ovulation, and didn't think she'd taken.

I went out of town on Monday, and got back yesterday to find my girl sitting on a pile of 7 (!) eggs, no slugs. Unfortunately, I think it was way too dry in the tub for them (she had them right over the heat tape for 1-3 days), and they're in bad shape. I've got them set up in a tub with perlite/vermiculite and I moistened it to where it formed a clump in my hand, but even after sitting in the tub all night, they're not looking any better.

Here's a pic:



Is there anything I can do?? I don't want to lose these guys.
