Another Great Dealing with Yen! Definitely recommend him to anyone!

Received another Wonderful shipment from Yen! Always receive more that what I paid for! Thanks!

Just curious, did you have to remove any of the foam in order to pull it off? Or, the eggs were already exposed? As far as hatching, I think it would still hatch if they weren't damaged when you remove it from the screen and as long as it's kept very moist. I should go home and change my set...
