Breeders Help

[Mojo Jojo]

I removed the A. genic eggs from the sac yesterday and am keeping them in a hammock style setup suspended over a moist mixture of peat and vermiculite. Anyways, they are starting to stink. I don't know if this is just from popped eggs or what. Most of the eggs are pretty healthy I believe, as I can see leg movement. Any advice would be helpful.

Jon,
The best thing to do at this point is to go though your lump and pick out any dead, infertile, or mushy looking eggs. Anything really dark and juicy lookin' should be suspect.
This smell of decaying matter will no doubt attract mites, or other baddies.
You could also make another rearing container and transfer the known good eggs w/legs to a healthy environment. This is the route I would take.
