Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I don't think I would mist the eggs. It's ok to mist the substrate, but keep the water off of the eggs.

Congrats Tony! I just saw this thread for the first time.
I've never incubated couperi eggs but the cribo eggs I've incubated were very hardy and didn't seem that sensitive to minor humidity fluctuations. I incubated mine on a shelf and I might have added a little water once during the entire incubation process. Couperi eggs might be different but I've never had a fertile cribo egg go bad during incubation and I don't obsess over them.
By the way, your eggs look fertile to me in the pic. I posted photos of my melanurus eggs last year and people thought they looked infertile. I think Dry eggs tend to look yellow and shiny in pics for some reason (I think it was the flash in my case).
I wish I lived in a state that allowed me to buy one of your babies. Being able to see them in the wild is a pretty good consolation prize though.

Houston, we have first pip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I went in to check on the eggs today, and sometime within the last 24 hours, on day 100, the first baby pipped! I thought I was an emotional wreck before. Now I'm REALLY going nuts!!! So say your prayers, cross your fingers and toes, rub that buhda, and hopefully they will all emerge safe and healthy, very soon.

Awesome! Congrats Tony! You gotta love it when even the moldy ones hatch 
I can't wait to see pics when they're out. Days like this make me wish I wasn't a Floridian so I could keep a few of those guys.
Congrats again on being one of the few to have success with couperi this year.

Here's #1
This is the first one out. I guess you could call it "balck phase". He or she was out and about this morning. So I snapped a couple pics, and transfered into it's individual tub. I'm on cloud 9. I hope the feeling never fades!

Number two is out, but was very squirmy, so I didn't take a pic. Looking very nice, with no white, and an incredible blue glow.
But I have some bad news,...One which pipped yesterday, died in the egg for some reason. I think it just couldn't get out. There were scratch marks all over the inside of the egg, but the whole he had made at the top, had sealed itself up again. And compared to the other two, his belly had not absorbed any yoke. I guess he was just out of energy. If I'd known, I'd have run through a hail storm of bullets to save him. What a precarious buisness this is! I'm bummed about it, but not overwhelmed. I still have some degree of success. And I am thrilled for every one!!!
There are currently three more pipping at this time. Say your prayers, cross your fingers and toes, and rub that Buhda! PLEASE!!!
