Well Ive be anticipating my eggs to hatch while searching incubation times and I looked over and seen a little girl has hatched.Not the best photo , she just crawled out of the dirt and I didnt want to frighten her. Thanks for looking.

Congratulations! Did you incubate the egg in situ?

Does situ mean hatched in vivarium? If so no, She laid them in the center of her plant on Sept 10th. I placed eggs in small plastic container about 10 inches deep. Filled with moist coco fiber. I buried eggs about 3 inches from top. Incubated on a shelf low to the ground in the dark. Room temps fluctuate daily from 72-77f usually from day to night .

Very nice.

Do you separate your pair during the cooling season or just decrease the temperature?
Thanks,

Hi , thanks everyone!

Im still very excited about her. This is my first season with them so I have not separated them ever.They're housed 2.1 as the previous owner in 2x2x4 screen. Not 100% on sire for obvious reasons but have a good ideal it's my younger male. My observation tells me lineatus are not as persistent in bothering the female to mate. Unlike sikorae and ciliatus that like to chase the females down until they submit. The days are still warm here in the room but the nights are getting significantly cooler.
Im hoping the other hatches tonight.

FYI, in situ does not mean in the terrarium, per se. It actually means "in place" or "undisturbed".

Thanks for clearing up my confusion Miguel. At first I thought it was some type of incubation medium.Then I was searching under the term situ and not in situ. Makes sense now.
