Surprise Clutch Worries
Ok so i began breeding my BP in March ( kinda late i know ) so thinking that it was too late i took her off breeding after about 8- 10 lockups. But recently i noticed her building and today she gave me an unexpected clutch of six eggs.
All eggs are full and white. I candled them, and they are mostly pink colored inside with vains a visible air bubble/ embrio thing. They feel somewhat squishy but not extremely. Does all of this sound normal? And is the air bubble thing supposed to be facing upward?
Secondly, i do not have an incubator. I put them in a tub with proper conditions with vermiculite, and the tub stays about 89-91.5. I am trying to drop the temps to a constant 89 however. On thurday or friday i will be getting an incubator for the eggs.
But for now, will the eggs be alright for 2-3 days in this enviornment untill i set up an incubator.
Sorry for no pics, i can post them if they are necessary.

Re: Surprise Clutch Worries
if you have high humidity and temps that's fairly constant around 90 degrees. that's all you can do, even if you had an incubator. and if you found them shorty after she had them, they will be ok whatever way you place them. humidity is where most run into trouble.

as close to 100% as you can get. I use a light grid for drop ceiling purchase from home depot. zip tie 2 one inch diameter pieces of pvc tubing to the bottom to hold it out of the water. I don't use any substrate, just water. I also use glad press n seal, not saran wrap to seal the tub with no air holes. been doing it this way for a few years with great results.
