    Re: Stefan's garters

    Unless they are from the driest of deserts, or equatorial species, the same basic rules apply.

    Like not touching them with your bare hands .
    Avoid turning them
    26-31 degrees should be fine

    The tricky part is keeping them from getting dehydrated while also avoiding mold.

    Separate the eggs if possible. Any bad eggs will ruin good eggs if they are touching. Don't use soil, leaves, dirt, or any other material that is prone to mold. Sterile vermiculite seems to work well if it's kept moist but not wet, and the eggs are at least partially recessed in it. Mist with distilled water as needed to keep them moist. I don't like the looks of what you have them in. Looks too wet and it will probably mold.

    I don't think any temperate snake eggs will fail if you do that.

    That was the humid hide, I put them in vermiculite (without turning the eggs) right away.

    Don't bother dumbing it down for me, I've read the basic instructions a hundred times.
