Lloyd & Mary
Working On Their Family

Lloyd and Mary are busy working on building a family.  Here are photos of their first 3 batches of eggs.  Mary is laying 1 new batch of eggs about every month.
This is the oldest group of eggs - about 2 months old.  See below about the markings on the eggs.
This batch is about a month old.
This is the newest batch.

 

Here are Gary's recommendations about caring for the eggs:

• The eggs need to be separated from the adults and moved to a different terrarium, as the young hatchlings are likely to be eaten by the adults.  Gary is using a 10 gallon aquarium for this purpose.
   
• Mark the eggs with a Sharpie marking pen to indicate the top of the egg and the batch, and keep each batch together in Tupperware-like containers - NOT sealed, of course!  Gary used a Plus Sign (+) on the first batch, 3 dots (...) on the second batch, and no markings on the newest batch.
   
• Both the terrarium and the individual Tupperware containers should be lined with a Peat Moss type potting soil - WITHOUT fertilizer, of course!  Soil may be brushed back gently to check the eggs, then gently brushed back when done.
   
• The eggs should be placed in approximately the same configuration they were laid in.
   
• Cover the eggs with approximately 1 to 2 inches of the same Peat Moss potting soil.
   
• Mist the soil-covered eggs once per day, so the egg shells do not dry out - but DO NOT SOAK them!
   
• Keep the terrarium heated to about 85 degrees Fahrenheit with a lamp.
   
• Raisin-like, shriveled eggs are dead.  They should be removed.
   
• The eggs will take about 90 days to hatch.
