I'd say get a thermometer in that and see for sure where you are at. I'd bet the fluctuations in temp are your problem. How are you aerating the eggs, can you still clearly see the larvae inside, are the eggs turning white at all?

So the real number is 5 that I got which is really disappointing but hey it was my first attempt and pulled the pot early so it was a learning experience for sure

Started laying around four pm I was pretty shocked I missed the first two lays but this morning I and a buddy of mine who breeds clowns were looking at her and she looked huge and her ovipositor was out so I knew today was the day. Unfortunately I looked over at like 430 and their were already 100 eggs laid. Got a very good video of the eggs being laid
