Strophurs incubation ?

[This Island Earth]

I must be doing something wrong. I've gotten 8 S.wlliamsi clutches this year and all eggs have died within a week. Am I keeping them too moist ? Some pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hello Johnny,
it sounds like you incubated to moist. I also had 8 clutches from one female and 15 hatched. I took 1part perlite and 1part water by weight.
But there can also be other reasons. How did you do the incubation?

I basicly incubated them like you would any gecko eggs. I used the roughly the same ratio of perlite/water (although I did eyeball it and not actually weight it) and incubated them at 83 - 84 degrees.

Do it next year with a scale, and I think you will have success. Doing it "I did eyeball it" is not very correct and can differ a lot from accurate ratio.
