U Milii Incubation Temp

[angusm]

Got a very prego U Milii and was wondering what temp I should be incubate the eggs?
Also 1:1 water vermic ok ?

 

[bikiescum2003]

seen some in an incubator a couple of days ago with coastal eggs so i would think around 28-30 degrees and 1.1 vermiculite. but i have not bred these so dont hold me on it

Thks Bikie, I thought it was around that so all is good

At 28-29 degrees you should get one male one female after about 65 days. There has been some suggestion that lower temps 26-27 you get two females and higher 31-32 two males. Not sure how accurate this is though.
Here is a good basic care sheet:

make shour that the 1.1 is weight.

I would make the vermiculite a bit drier, I've had less problems with mould if its about 3:4 (water : vermiculite) but thats jmo

Also keep the eggs in an air tight container, it does not have to be by weight

Rocket, if the vermiculite and water were measured out at one cup full of each, you would drown the eggs. 1:1 by weight seems to be a safe ratio, though i myself will always mix it a bit drier.
