    Re: How much intervention do these eggs need?

    I'm leaning towards putting them on light diffuser and adding water directly to the medium and leaving them alone...
    Hatchrite works well with gecko eggs but the water content does not appear to be enough when incubating snake eggs requiring temps in the high 80's.

    It can still be used but water should be added to it.

    What I would do is buy a light crate get that Hatchrite wet. This way it will be headache proof and you will not have to worry about your eggs being to wet since they will no longer be in contact with the substrate or too dry since the substrate will contain a lot more water.

    Eggs can be moved they are very resilient, just make sure that you do not rotate them.

    Water bottles are not necessary, and your eggs will be fine once you address the humidity issue in your tub.
