How are you incubating and what temps?
I'm using a hammock style incubator with wet sphagnum moss as a source of humidity in the cup. My animal room is kept at 74F during the day and 68F at night in order to coincide with my treeboas breeding season.

The nymphs seem really well developed at the 32 days I pulled them. As you can see in this pic they are darkening up already.




Thanks for the good words everyone...this is such a beautiful species, I'm very excited about them. {D

I've always wondered..can you seperate them early while they are eggs with legs? So as to cut down on casualties and to make it easier to seperate them instead of chasing them around? Can that be done?

I guess you could but the only problem would be that nymphs in an incubator require a close eye. You don't want them too wet or too dry. It's easier to keep an eye on one environment as opposed to several different ones.

I think it's best to leave them together since technically at this stage they should all be living together in the sac anyhow. They tend to almost always clump up in a group so I assume there is some benefit to being together.

Big congrats! It's a shame I can't seem to keep a versicolor sling alive to save my life. I'm 0 and 3 :wall: .
