Sand swimmer breeding questions

[cris]

I have some broad banded sandswimmers that should hopefully be breeding this season and i was just wondering how ppl go about find their eggs without disturbing them.

I usually clean the sand with a net but wasnt sure if this would cause damage to the eggs if i scoop them up?

Is it easy to notice when the females are gravid?

Are roaches likely to eat their eggs?

If/when i get eggs what temp should they be incubated at?

Where are they likely to lay the eggs? near the heat source or in a cooler spot?

Is there any other advice or tips that could help?

Just use a laybox with a damp sustrate like moss ect they will lay in it every time, unless you spill water around the water bowl like in the second pic

Eggs can be seen through the females skin, she gets quite bloated, Incubate at 28 - 30 deg. Eggs hatch in thirty days, usually to the dot. If any egg is late by more than a day, I open them, they never have any problems with this for me. Hatchies will eat within hours of hatching. Never had a problem with bugs eating the eggs, but have had the male eat one once. Female re-lays every 25 to thirty days on average
