Re: [Killietalk] gestation of F. gardneri

["R. Brice" <Tarmack at clarityconnect_com>]

Hello,

This happens some of the times. What you did not say is what the temperature 
is. if it is too cool they will take longer to hatch.  When my Fp gardneri 
Jos plateau do this, I put them in a test tube and walk around with them in 
my pocket and they hatch.
