 Egg conditions

damp vermiculite, partially cover the eggs, 85 degrees, humidity around 80% (not sure about the humidity, might want to look that one up or someone else can correct me)

 Egg conditions

Get your egg container and fill it with about 1.5-2 inches of moist not wet but moist vermiculite or per-lite. to get the consistency correct put per-lite in a separate container and flood it with water then using your hand grab the per-lite and squeeze the excess water from it, you will know when it is good because only a drip or so of water will come from it when you squeeze and the per-lite will kind of hold the shape of your hand when you release the grip. Place the per-lite into the container that you have already drilled 6 3/8 inch holes in the sides of for ventilation, I use the lid on the container but everyone has their own preference so you make up your own mind if no lid is used then no holes are needed. With a lid the humidity will hardly ever change.

Now you are ready fro the eggs, using your thumb press it (your thumb)into the per-lite/vermiculite to make a "cradle" for the eggs, if at all possible leave an inch between eggs. Place the eggs in the substrate and begin incubating. You will have to monitor the eggs humidity from time to time and water may have to be added but never over the eggs, add you water around the edges of the incubation container and watch as it is easy to add to much and drown the eggs. Good luck and I hope this helps.

I thought you said in the general forum that you didn’t want to breed? I know the female can lay eggs without mating, but I think you have a while to go before that happens because your female is a baby right?
