    Re: WoooHoooo! She laid!!!!!

    Congrats on the eggs. I don't know if they are you're first or not but as someone who has had few clutches not make it I figure I might as well share the experience and info i've gathered from more experienced keepers....nothign is more dissappointing than 10 eggs going 110 days only to have 2 hatch and 8 perfect babies drown in the egg.

    -In the past, I've always incubated them wayyyy tooo wet. They seem to not fair as well in the same conditions as say bp eggs.

    -the more substrate/bigger the container you have them in the better. This stabilizes the temps. (fast temp changes, even SMALL ones seem to have an adverse effect) whereas slow temp/humidity changes are tolerated. An example would be removing them to candle etc.'

    Probably seems like no brainers to you guys but it was stuff i didnt really know


    my lack of success with eggs in the past was due mostly to improvised/poor incubation i think. I have a clutch thats been cooking for about a month now. fingers crossed. and GOOD LUCK with them
