So I came home from a 3-day vacation (with the neighbors taking care of everybody) to 4, beautiful, little round eggs in my L. williamsi terrarium.:biggrin: I had a feeling it was going to happen (both girls were HUGE, and it appears they laid at the same time too!), and I placed tiny deli cups with tape next to the viv in case it did happen-but they didn't get covered.
I am not so much worried about that as when I did go to cover them, the 2 on the back wall (it's foam covered w/shredded coconut bark), fell off and down into a bromeliad (it did not have water in it thankfully!)! I carefully removed them, put them in a tiny deli container w/damp vermiculite, covered it and set them in a 5 gal w/a UTH. I THINK I have them facing the same way as they were in the viv-but idk. It's about 80-84 degrees where they sit. I even candled them today and I see yellow with a red spot in each, and 1 tiny horizontal vein in each as well- so I am hoping everything is ok. They are anywhere from 1 week to 4 days old.
The other two eggs are glued to the top rim of the tank (typical!), so were hard to cover- I had to cut up a deli cup and stick it over them w/tape and cling wrap.
SO, in spite of everything, what do you guys think-what's the chance that the eggs that fell off will hatch?
Also, I read in another post how to get eggs easily removed for incubation- laid in a bamboo tube-but I can't remember, was it with wax paper rolled inside?
Sorry this post is so long, my first eggs so OF COURSE I'm crazy about them!
