should you totally bury the eggs in vermicilite?

[mary prefontaine]

i just made a dent in the vrmicilite and placed each egg in a dent then partially covered them is that ok? or should they be totally buried?

Ive never seen anyone bury the eggs in the hatching material.

they just make a small dent so the egg cant roll, and place it on top.

It sounds like you did it just the way we all do it. You and the eggs are doing great.

Thanks.

They seem to be ok, i havnt checked them in a while, so im going to do that now to make sure they have enough moisture in there, i feel a little more confident now. my next question would be will the eggs change if they are not fertile? and what should i look for?

if the eggs are not fertile, in a few weeks they will mold and collapse.
