There is no reason not to open the container to look for eggs. Seeing eyed up 
eggs in peat is difficult at best, but nearly impossible through plastic bags 
or other translucent containers. 30 degrees C or 86 degrees F is too warm to 
allow any window for hatching opportunity. You could easily go right past the 
hatching time. 80 degrees is better, 78 is even better. Is your daytime 
temperature 30 degrees or is your average temperature 30 degrees C? Have you 
actually measured the temperature in the peat?
