This morning while doing routine maintenance on herps found this surprise in Homes enclosure. This pair was the 2008 rescue. I have observed breeding behaviour since shortly after rescue and now this.

Awesome larry. Hope they hatch. You gotta a plan for the regime?

Incubate at 82 degrees in 80 percent humidity in sphagnum moss. I would welcome any input.

Sounds good. Ive never hatched homeana but I know some people that have. They did a cool period mid to high 70s then low to mid 80s. Room temp seemed to work well instead of in an imcubator. However being in Iowa might be cool room temp right now. Ben (Benjamin) is quite good at hatching them. Send him a PM. He can tell you all the details he does to hatch them. I know jacqui leaves them in the enclosure and lets them hatch. Soon i hope I will hatch some.

Be patient they can take awhile to start developing.
Best of luck with them.
