If you have already removed them from the tank then put the pot they are in, in the tank, the snail that laid them knows the right temp, she would have laid them in the best spot so either do that or leave them were they are :-)

Mine hatched (and found 32 more the past days) at 30 degree in very wet cocohumus or spaghnum moss. I am removing them from the original tank and I have an tank for my babysnails and eggs. In there it has during the day around 30 degree and around 26 during the night. Works good this way. ;D (Pic´s of hatchlings to follow in another thread.....  ) |

well celsius starts at the temperature water freezes. Kelvins start at this 'absolute zero' temperature when all the molecules stop moving (-273.15°C) each kelvin degree is equal to a celsius degree, so water freezes at 273.15 kelvins.

Great! Nice work Ceiron.
But it is not a problem on moving margie eggs to another place?
