First Cakes, Damnit
    #2683293 - 05/15/04 05:48 PM (19 years, 9 months ago)

I just removed my first cakes from the jars. I have them in a temporary terrarium atm, but it needs redone (mostly plastic wrap, dont ask). The temp inside is 74F and 75% humidity. I will be picking up supplies tomorrow to make a new home for them. Will they be ok till tomorrow? If not I'd have about a 2 hour drive to get supplies. Any help is appreciated.

mmm, I should have asked this also.. how should I transfer them between terrariums? I have latex gloves, are the cakes generally sturdy enough to move by hand? I was very gentle putting them into the terrarium, didnt make any contact. Thanks!

They will be fine if you put latex gloves on then spray your gloved hands with bleach and then rinse your gloved hands thoroughly under a tap. Also wash your face and arms before hand (even better have a bath in 10% bleach solution). Be as quick as possible whilst moving very slowly and try to hold your breath.

If you can do the transferring outside with no breeze what-so-ever it'll be even better. There's hardly any contams outdoors compared to inside a room.

Sterility is success!

I think just washing your hands with hot water and soap is fine. Once the cakes are fully colonized they are resistant to contamns, all that bleach isnt necessary. But it can't hurt either, Peace.

Yeh i just transfer them, when i dunk and stuff with my hands, most of the time don't even wash them with soap and water. Never had a problem yet. I even scar my cakes before dunking and still haven't got a contam in them. But it could never hurt to be extra sterile and clean.
