Success

[JAG 32]

Success! Well the eggs aren't hatching yet, but I managed to save the eggs from dehydration. I would say at least 60% of them were OVER 50% dehydrated BUT with a change of containers and after dividing them they have plumped back up within a few days. I just thought i would share in case anyone else has this problem. I divided the clutch into 2 parts (the containers weren't big enough) and put the in containers without air holes and i dampened the moss. Within a few days they were back to normal, no misting or anything. I'm hoping for the best that they will all hatch, i got a good feeling after candling them so i hoping for the best. Attached are some pictures (before/after) First three are before, last 2 are after.

Great news John! They are definitely looking good! I would never have expected such a dramatic change.

I wouldn't of ever thought it would change that fast~! I checked on them today and they are completely filled out and looking better than ever.
