    Laybox substrate for Amyae?

    Hey guys, i think one of my female Nephrurus Amyae is gravid and I need to make a lay box ASAP. What's the best substrate to put inside it? wet sand? and what temp should it be inside it. Cheers

    damp sand so it holds a burrow, but not wet so it ruins her eggs,..

    mine have finished laying for teh year, last clutch dropped was on the 12/2.

    can you actually see the eggs?
    Some people are like slinkys, not really good fro anything, but still bring a smile to ur face when u push them down a flight of stairs,....

    I use moist sand in the lay box. I put the lay box in the cool (room temp) end. I dig the eggs up once laid put them in a container with perlite 60%-40% water by weight and place in the incubator. Set about 29 degrees. Mine lay between 2-7 days after pre lay shed.
