A question about D. granti eggs

I've got about 65 D. granti eggs that were laid a couple of months ago. This is my first time raising D. granti, but I've reared D. tityus in the past.

Call me impatient, but I'm just curious as to how long of a wait I have before the D. granti hatch?

 
Thanks for the reply, Oak. Hmmm... Now I'm a little concerned. I removed the eggs from the breeding container around the 3rd week of September... The temperature has been right around 70 F. Most of the eggs are a nice white color, a few are a little brownish, but still plump looking. Any ideas?

 
Okay, I lightly misted the substrate in each container (medium sized deli cups w/ lids holding 4 eggs each) I saw one small larva in one of the cups, so I guess I'm just an impatient, expectant father, LOL

Cheers

 
granti eggs can take like 3 months to hatch you just have to be patient… if they're turning tannish and they're swelling they may hatch soon
