Hello,
I just discovered my first cepediana hatchling in the incubator today. It emerged from a single-egg clutch that was laid in a bamboo cleft in April, I believe. I think it was April, but really have no idea as I was not looking for it and didn't know the female was gravid at the time. She could have laid before or after another clutch I did know about.
I incubated the egg inside an Exo Terra that has other cepediana eggs. The temperatures ranged from 82F-90F during the day and into the low 70's at night. I didn't want it to go as low as it did during the day (82F), but I had the enclosure situated in a cooler part of the room at first and, at another point in time, one of the halogen bulbs went out on the enclosure (I had two) and I did not notice it in time and could not address it for a few days. I just moved it into an incubator yesterday (88-89F during the day, low 70's at night) and saw it this evening when I came home.
I had 2.3, but one of my females recently died (slightly older than one year old male may have killed her or anything could have happened), so I will be pleased with a male or female. It happened shortly after I sold one proven female to another forum member! I now have 2.1 but my main pair are doing very well together and producing many eggs.
