    Default Williamsi MORE eggs--possibly removable!

    Yesterday I was draining the water from the drainage layer in the bottom of the tank I noticed 3 more eggs, that are attached to the background insert that comes with the Exo Terra tanks. I'm thinking I should take them out and incubate them with my Chameleon eggs. I heard lower temperature would produce more females then males. The only catch is that I don't have any incubating material... What would you recommend I heard the repashy is good?
    Thanks for the feedback in advance

    I use the super hatch from repashy for all my garg/crested eggs or anything low temp and long incubation. I use vermiculite for all my snakes, leopard geckos, and bearded dragons.

    I love the super hatch because it is reusable (and easily reusable at that) but 1) its heavy 2) its more expensive because its heavy.

    PerliTe mammoth sack in Peaveymart for about $12!! I hate reusing hatch medium, imho just can never be sterile enough. The bag I bought two years ago still has enough for two more seasons at least.

    Just make sure the eggs themselves are not in direct contact with the medium or you will most likely end up with molded eggs.

    Is that just for day geckos? because I know chameleon eggs just go in the perlite.

    Good luck getting the williamsi eggs off of the styrofoam to put them directly in the medium anyway

    I would recommend just, as crappy as it is, cut a chunk of the styrofoam out and put it in your hatching tank.
