[QUOTE="syzygy, post: 96850, member: 4361"] The adult lats are on a thin layer of coco fiber. Every couple weeks I rotate to a new container with new egg crate to try and minimize smell. I was spraying the coco fiber to keep it moist but stopped doing that...also to reduce smell. They don't seem to mind it being dry so long as they have water crystals and food and a hide. Not sure what my plan is with the growing population of little feeders....might ditch the substrate for them to simplify transfers. My current ooths are in a small plastic punch cup. I took several paper towels and folded in half and cut a half circle. I wet this down and placed it in the bottom of the cup and piled up the ooths on the other half. I cover the cup about 90% with saran wrap. Every 3-4 days i spray down the back of the cup to moisten the paper towel. I initially had the ooths on the paper towel, but they would mold. Trying a different method now where every two weeks when i do the transfer I collect those ooths and put them in a condiment cup which I float in another container of water that is mostly covered....little ooth boats. We'll see how that works. [/QUOTE]
