I have been experimenting with various "dry add water" creatures. From shrimp to rare triops' I never had an issue in the past as a kid, until I got a heater. The issue is that these guys require a specific temp. To hatch- (75-78F). The temp has gone up and down so I got myself a micro Pre-set mini heater (78F), considering not one of the last batch proved fruitful... Now I see the temp is sitting at 84-85. Awesome quality built into this device.
Who knows if these 200 million year old creatures can handle the temp- even though the temp is way high. Please experts tell me experience- I have googled a lot but the forum is needed now. (Yes checked the water and a bit of ammonia but water changes are often)
 
And, they begin to hatch with the addition of time reduction of heat and water changes. Hope that keeps them going for some time.
