Where are the little ones?
I had a surprise before! Went to take a plant out of the tank to put back in a pot with some fertilizer coz it seems to be getting battered in the tank with the locusts etc. Didnt notice that sheila had a "dirty Face". Lifted the pant out and low and behold................3 eggs - right underneath the plant roots so god knows how long she must have dug for to get under it, but not one sign of diggin in the tank. funny little creatures!

Thats so cool, another batch of eggs for you 
Nope, nothing yet... these little monsters will have me grey at 26!
I got the tub out yesterday and shone the torch on them and all 4 gave a wiggle. Will they be stimulated by the light?
I cant believe they arent here yet... ive even started dreaming about them!! its nuts!!

probably will get stimulated by light, it might be what they need to get them to break out of there little shells!
are they covered over with soil?
leave them uncovered slightly and in natural light and see what happens, but obviously not in direct sunlight.
so excited!
Poor sheila must not be happy with Kev, she only laid the last batch on 28th April.
Doh! the dates dont add up!
Must be Veronicas and Karls eggs coz Kev and Veronica were only put back in the other tank a week ago! surely Sheila could not have another batch so soon? that would mean she must have gotten pregnant again and laid eggs 27 days after laying the other? cant be right can it?

Ok... decided to 'meddle' with the eggs a little today... i couldnt just let them be anymore.
I didnt open any up.
Up until now all i've done is shine the little light over the tubs and look at the eggs that way. But today i took the lid off and did the same. They moved, all four! I got my sister in law and mum to have a look and they backed me up, so im not going mad Just grey! 
I candled the eggs with the bulb (just set it along side the egg) and you could see their little bodies against the shells and they moved!
So they must be alive... just taking their time.
I moved them into another container with vermil... oh you know the stuff, hehe. I did this because one of the eggs looked a bit damaged and on closer inspection saw that there were a couple of tiny woodlouse in with them. There must have been eggs in the soil from the main enclosure. I was wondering if they would eat the shells for calcium?
I really cant wait, not now that i have seen them move in the shells

Day One Hundred and Eleven!!! And we have a littleboy
I came downstairs this morning to see this huge (but little) head with big eyes and two little arms pulling along a shell I checked on him again in the hour and his rear legs were still in the shell, so i placed my finger lightly on the shell and he literally just stepped out of it
He has been throwing stripes on and off during the day, has a pretty long tail and little ridges so i'm happy in saying he is a boy. I'll post pictures for confirmation when i've taken some.
He is currently in a small critter keeper with some ficus branches (thank you Aunty Peanut) and a little jungle gym i made out of tooth picks. I cut away the sharp tips.
I havent seen him drink, but have lightly misted the enclosure throughout the day. He hasnt shown interest in food yet, other than chasing it around... but i'm not too worried about that just yet
He has settled on a branch and is getting himself ready for bed
The remaining three eggs look as they did yesterday... but that means nothing, i mean this little chap didnt sweat or dent or anything before i went to bed.
Fingers crossed they will hatch soon.
Maybe the vermil... stuff was a better medium than the soil? Who knows
