My first Eggs.

[clintdowns]

I have had my 2.4 Russians now for about 2 months and I must say that I love them. They are so cool to watch eat and stuff, but I have never once watched the males even act interested in the girls. I must not see it or something because I have heard that Russian males are very aggressive. I have never seen it yet. Yesterday i saw one of my girls in a hole and this is what I found.

Please share your thoughts.

Congratulations! the first batch of eggs is always so exciting! Looks good at this point, now all you can do it watch the temp and humidity untlil they hatch or rot. Just remember not to give up until they show signs of failure. I had had eggs hatch weeks after the expected due dates and the babies were fine.

What temperature do you all do and the humidity?

For my Russians I like to keep the vermiculite completely dry. I lay the eggs 1/2 covered. I keep my temps at 89.2-89.5. Humidity I create by keeping a cup full of sphagnum in the corner and always make sure the cup is full of warm water. Usually dehydrates every 3-4 days. I keep humidity between 50-70%. I find it annoyingly hard to maintain a constant humidity. I've lost very few eggs this way. In my early days with Russians, I placed them in a wet vermiculite. And achieved humidity that way. It seemed as if the eggs were soaking up too much of the direct dampness.
