I was curious how everyone attaches there small ooths? I received a couple Oxypilus gillonae today and they’re both hopefully mated females. While in shipping one laid a super tiny ooth (maybe 1/4”) on the plastic container that popped off when I opened it. Can I still use a low heat glue gun or is there a better method?

Use the gun, only try to let it cool a little and then just glide the edges in the glue.

Hot glue as described, or 'craft putty' as shown below.
Needle and thread will work too. You only pierce a couple of eggs.
I’ve used needle and thread And low temp glue guns for larger species before. it was just a bit of a shock today having never dealt with such a small ooth. I bought these as nymphs so when two adult females showed up with an ooth in one container it took me by surprise lol. I’ll have to try the craft putty sometime! Thanks for the help!
