 makes it all more fun TBH I can pretty much work out which are which, the ones with the eggs floating in water are the wetter ones (and coincidently Dave's) and the others will be the dryer ones (mine) 
Thanks, yep two female caramels would be perfect and probably both keepers

Nice result from the lil lady. Everything crossed for you for a caramel or 4 
I know from watching Ralph Davis' YouTube vids that he uses 1:8 water:vermiculite by volume also.

That's a reassuring conicidence, To go into more technical details I use 8 scopes of vermiculite (using a cricket tub) with one scope of water I came to this number by the fact that adding nine scopes was taking too long and I was running out of vermiculite  As for the water, that was leaking down me everytime I filled the cricket tub so to stop me getting too wet I thought I'd limit it to one scope per egg box
So that's how I came to my 'magic' formula

scott your so lucky to have a mate like dave who is so open to experiment's  one of these days after maybe a few season's worth of ruined eggs you might drop on a secret formula and all dave's losses will be worth it.keep plugging away mate

It's entirely my fault. I shouldn't have entrusted their care to such an inexperienced keeper, one without a clue however enthusiastic. A novice just learning the ropes - it was too much to expect they could cope. I see that now ... |

That is a truly remarkable scientific method Reading your explaination I can't see anything but logic, that has to be a good thing
Good luck with the eggs mate

I'm sending you "Janet & John Do Ball Pythons" as it has lots of pictures and no long words. I'm also sending you "The A to B of Python Regius" You can have "C to Z" when you've mastered the basics - like Water! |
