sanitize constantly when you're handling them. don't use tap water. they need alot of moisture to hatch, and a temp between 77-85 degrees. here is a good faq: http://www.mulberryfarms.com/Care-Raising-Tips-12.html#silkwormeggs

Oh ok, I will keep an eye on her. Thanks for the quick reponses. Sent from my RM-820_nam_att_100 using Board Express

Well she has been in and out of her bin since yesterday, goes in and comes out after about 10 minutes several times. Still dark green, not sure what's going on, hasn't laid any more eggs. Is this normal after they lay eggs or do they usually go back to normal afterwards? And by normal I mean...

I set up her bin and she went straight for it, I guess that answers that question, good to know :) Thanks for the response :D

Hey all :) Is it possible for veiled chams to only deposit some of their eggs one day, and then deposit more a few days later? My veiled just had her first clutch (yay!) and all went well, but today (2 days later) she is dark green (same color she was when she finished burying her eggs) and is...

Hmm my veiled was clinging/crawling toward his uvb light. When I moved his cage higher and added a branch toward the top he stopped doing this, perhaps a height issue? :)

Lol "ate like a horse" :D I'm surprised he's letting you hold him! Mine gets the 'tude.

Now there's an interesting idea! :)

Ohhhh babieeeeesss! They look great with those big ol' eyes :D

Howdy :) How is your cham doing today? He could just have some debris in his eye, mistings would help. Are his other behaviors normal ? (eating, drinking, defecating, etc)

It might just be the camera angle, but is anyone else noticing the legs bowing a bit?

Aw poor thing. I know what you mean about supplementing! I worry as well with my own. What a stressful time for both of you :( , you and Isis are in my thoughts! :) Hope all goes well.

My eyes jumped over it. Have never seen this before. Perhaps PM one of the many experienced cham vets on these forums (ferritinmyshoes and Dr O are two that come to mind). Good luck.

When you say discolored, what color do they appear to be? Sent from my RM-820_nam_att_100 using Board Express

Very true.
