 Still dented

Some are still dented some are not. The dented ones have not gotten better or worse. I added just a touch more water so we will see what happens, I’m all done meddling. On a different note the female has been eating like no tomorrow since she laid. Unfortunately I ran out of crickets Sunday night and couldn’t get another box until this afternoon. You would think she never ate before. She had to eat 50 crickets in a 2 hour time frame maybe more. With a brand new box I wasn’t shy about throwing them in, she was still having at it when I came up. When she eats like this after a lay there is usually another clutch on the way. Take it easy.

Pics of setup? May just have to mist to keep humidity up. Just remember that a little is enough. Extreme changes kills eggs. I have killed my share because it rushed something.

I can try to get a pic up tommorow, it’s nothing fancy just a large insulated box. The temps are stable and I put a large bowl of water in there to help from drawing out the moisture from the egg box. My last cluch that was in there had one hatchling 7 fully developed dead babies and 3 that died out the last month with under developed babies. I didn’t seem to have humidity probs then. Although no babies. This was the first time eggs were dented right from the get go. She is still eating up a storm so I am guessing anoter clutch in about a month, All I can do is keep trying and moving forward. Take it easy
