Well they are not laid yet but wish me luck. Like i said when i posted them mating. This is my first succesful pair. I have only had loners before. Well i need to know how to keep my girls calcium up and how to incubate the eggs.
Thanks much.

The eggs are very easy to incubate. I use sphagnum moss to incubate them, you can use whatever you like: coco fiber, vermiculite, perlite, etc. I incubated my eggs on the shelf directly above the cages at room temp (72-78F) and moistened the substrate every 2-3 days or so. The incubation time for U. phantasticus and U. sikorae averaged 60 days. Good luck.

Do you keep the eggs directly in the substraight or do you put them on someting else. Also sphagnum moss sounds great. Ill try it. Also how can i keep her calcium up. I dont see any visible chalk sacs. I was thinking on getting roaches. Any ideas.

A simple solution for calcium and vitamins is to buy a bottle of each Rep-Cal and Herptivite. Nathan sells it in his online store, I believe.
I would make holes half the depth of the egg into the sphagnum and put them in that.
