Make sure the vermiculite is damp. Try covering for an hour or two with damp kitchen towel too.

I shone a pentorch in mine - even at their late stages. Probably NOT reccommended, but it didn't do mine any harm! This way you will be able to see if they still have occupants inside. Good luck - don't give up just yet.

I would defo. say yes. Mine were all at 28.5 - 29.5. Hatched fine. I was told don't let the temps get in the 30's. Someone else will be able to say for definate. Just get it turned down a touch, make sure that the verm is still damp, and hope for the best. That's all you can do at this stage I think. Good luck - Lee

That's right on the absolute upper limit at 90f. You really don't want them to go above that at all, especially as they get nearer to hatching.
