Thank you so much for your info it is very helpful.I think you would keep them in a cool area..I also heard to alternate elevating one end of the carton they are in. there was a thread on here I saw the other day and I think the longest was 3 weeks..I had some for 2 weeks and they hatched. There was one trying to hatch out eggs they been storing for 6 weeks..don't know the results yet! if you scroll back for the last 3 or 4 days you should find the thread ..it was something like the longest you had th eggs before hatching! I'll try and find it and give you the info!
