Egg?

[_Jas_]

While i was cleaning out my levis enclosure i found what looks to be a egg,does this look like a levis egg?If so to bad i didn't find it in time.

Sure is, bad luck but it happens. Found two eggs which were lost while digging around in my sand earlier on at the start of the year, was late by a couple of days, bit of a shame.

How long do the eggs last for before they are no good ?

 

[method]

Can't say i've done tests but I'd think the time would have a few factors such as the dampness/heat of the soil etc. But at a guess I would say 2/3 days max? Maybe less if the sand is a bit drier. Someone else might have a better idea on here, would be quite handy to know.

No they dry out its not the incubation thats the problem is the eggs drying out before being found

Well if no one doesn't look after them, such as the parents, yes.

They will stay fine as long as conditions suit, ie warmth and humidity, if these are right, they will hatch in the enclosure, though not too many enclosures would be set up the right way to achieve this, so they need to be taken out. Without humidity the eggs will dry out, possibly within a few hours if layed in a hotter area of the enclosure, and crickets will also eat the eggs if they can get to them.
