panther eggs

[rullom]

Hi, anyone know any good ideas for incubating panther eggs...I have one of the hovabators on its way and I was thinking of putting the eggs in plastic containers with vermiculite inside to insure humidity. Also do skip the diapause I was going to do 1 month at around 80 deg and 1month at around 70 deg and then the remaining time at around 80deg. Please send all comments and ideas to help me out.

Thanks
Mike

I breed both panthers and veileds and I incubate the eggs in a hovabator. I collect the eggs and place them in containers with vermiculite as you planed but also I but some pin holes into the lid of the containers for some air (as time pass make sure you check the containers and spray some more water into the container but not on the eggs to keep humidity up). I do not skip diapause but by incubating the eggs at 74 - 76F I have them hatching at 7 months. Hope this helps
