question

my Mack snow(biannca) is about to lay her eggs anytime now..if she lays her eggs in the lay box how long can they stay in there before extracting them to the incubator?

females will usually lay fertile eggs where the temp and humidity are just right for incubation. i've actually heard of people not finding eggs and then one day some babies crawl out of the moist hide. honestly there's really no set time. i try and remove my eggs as soon as possible and get them in the incubator. less chance of them getting broken while the girl is digging around.

if she laid them in the moist hide, just remove the hide and put it in the incubator until you can get vermiculite

I'm not a big perlite guy.some ppl use it but perlite is used technically to drain so it doesnt retain moisture a s well.Some large breeders use it though

As long as it's not miracle growth perlite. Most stores dont sell perlite without the chemicals so take a look at the bag and see if it doesn't say miracle growth.
