What a lovely, lovely picture. My female would not use her box; I wish she had. Artificial Incubation was a nightmare of stress!!
Good luck with the feeding!

She actually isn't patternless, she used to be green with a blue swirling pattern, like a true Sorong should be. Its just that the pattern got lost as she got more and more blue each time she got gravid.
And Stephen, MI isn't without stress either. You have to keep an eye on humidity and I had to move the nest box a few times to clean the whole cage. But overall I'm happy with the result, I'll certainly do the same next time.

As long as its for personal use and you don't start selling it, that's fine with me 
Thanks, I also like the pic, I never tire of seeing young GTPs hatch. I've decided to increase my GTP collection

Congratulations Ron! I had a nightmare of a time this year with MI  . I really underestimated how much moisture the female is able to retain in her coils and as a result ended up with a few "slimy" eggs after a bit too much spraying.
Took them off her and managed to hatch the 8 that i had earlier this year. Think ill just take them off her straight away next year.
Good luck getting the little buggers feeding!
