so i've been looking around for nice petri dishes because mine r pretty flimsy and crack when i wash them n such so i said screw this and bought a bunch of glass ones lol

... i dont wanna say how much they cost me but it wasn't too cheap lol. I figure i can wash these a lil easier and sterilize them or what not a lil better??. Anyone else use glass petris.... anyone use somethin diff. than a petri?

I just ask the deli counter at the grocery store for a few deli cup lids when I need some.

I usually leave my eggs in situ in the viv until a day or so before they hatch.

that would make sense lol. I've been pulling eggs from my tincs like 3 days after they lay.... i've been finding jelly masses so i think they start eating them? i dunno.... either way i'm excited about my glassware lol. Will make life easier for me ne ways haha.

I have always used the glass ones. You are right in that they are not cheap. I usually get them from l
Flinn or Carolina. I just pull them sprat with methyl blue and put in a sterlite box until the hatch. Except for the sterlite box and spraying I never directly cover the eggs. If I get lazy in washing them though I will use deli lids and they also work just fine.
