kerstenni egg advice please

Yesterday I discovered a HUGE egg in my WC 1.1 R. kerstenni tank. Reading from Necas he says to incubate in the low 80;s. Currently the house temps are getting into the low 80s with outside being in the mid 70s. I would like to hear from those who have hatched out these guys and what you recomend. Pull the single egg or let it go?

I am curious why she didn't bury it, the ground is soft enough for her to dig.

Also, she and her mate stay on the same plants in the same corner of the tank all the time, is this normal? :confused:

Thanks for your comments.

I've only breed brevicaudatus, temporalis, nchisiensis and thieli. The most success I have made with, when I let the eggs where they are. In cases like yours, I cover the eggs with a bit of soil and in most cases it was successfull
I hope everything works fine for you, kerstenii aren't often found in captivity
 
you hear about this from time to time, as for why, i believe there are a number of things that could have contributed.

i would follow the advice given. Ive only worked with brevs but a few WC females did this from time to time.
