Re: [Killietalk] Hybrids
I have, over the years, and on a regular basis, hatched out eggs of N.
rachovii KNP and N. orthonotus KNP that have been in storage for more than
3
years. My record for these two populations is just over 5 years incubation
for the former and 4 years and 5 months for the latter. That was for
batches
that I hatched about a year and a half ago. And, in both cases, there were
still clear, undeveloped eggs in the peat in question. If this can happen
in
captivity I have no doubt that it also does in nature.
Is the moisture level kept at the point when you bag the peat(from reading
about this it seems to be a hands on feel for the right amount left in)? Do
you have to store them at a cooler temps ect.? What makes the best long term
storage in general? Did you get a descent hatch rate(I would expect 50%
would be good on a 5 year wait)? Thanks again.
