Now Lipsy laid eggs..

Lipwy laid eggs today while I was at work, they are white and solid this is good right? They are currently in a food container on wet spaghbum moss the right way up on a large heat mat and under a light at temperature between 30-35 degrees C. Is this okay?

Temperature has a direct effect on the your chances of male to female ratio (colder temps=more females; warmer=more males). You want to keep them at 31.6 degrees C at the very hottest, any hotter and you could produce "hot" females. Which are aggressive and most of the time sterile. I think i remember reading about "cold males" too so id stay within 26.6C - 31.1C to be safe. Also, you don't want the incubating material sopping wet, just damp so the eggs don't dry up. Hope this helps some =/

Could'nt have said it better my self. BTW idk what spahgum moss is but i though you where soposed to use a moister keeping herticulture product?

I only had sphagnum moss in. I set it up properly and kept the temp at 29-31 but I think they were left out too long as they have dented and shrivelled :/ I was really annoyed that Adam didn't check up on her as the eggs might have been alright, I was at work I had no control :/ really upset but I suppose it's okay she will lay more. Thanks guys, I will get some sand in ready for the next couple. Blondie layed another one that day too but it was already a mucky yellow colour and just the one so I threw it away

Always freeze eggs before throwing them out just in case they are viable despite their appearance. Last thing you want is to have an egg incubate and hatch in a warm rotting trash dump somewhere. Not likely but why risk it. Also vermiculite or perlite (sp?) Would be a better incubator substrait.

I've heard of eggs denting in a little and still hatching. (pretty sure it just means they lost some moisture inside) If they weren't too dried up you could let them incubate a week or so and then candle the eggs to see if any progress was made
