I have been keeping a pair of the 'Lafia' population that I got at an 
auction several weeks ago.  The tank temperature is heated to 72 F. I've 
picked the eggs and put them into shallow "Glad" food containers resting 
on the tank lid.  The ambient temperature in the room is 68 F, so I 
imagine that the incubation containers are a little more than that (I 
haven't measured).  What happens if the incubation is prolonged for more 
than two weeks?  I can definitely see the embryos developing inside the 
eggs.
