Similar to Sea Monkies, Tardigrades, and the Lung Fishes' ability to lie dormant, though the Graboids ability is far greater: the eggs can remain dormant for a time of 300 years. Since Graboid eggs can lie dormant for so long the shell can become fossilized in the process. The yolk however will remain concurrent. This allows the environment enough time to recover and provide enough food for the next generation of Graboids. For the eggs to awaken an outside heat source or sources need to be present as evidenced in Tremors 4: The Legend Begins when a hot spring was shown to have uncovered some eggs. It is not understood however how the Graboids of the previous two films were awakened though some fans think that the ones in Chiapas, Mexico were awakened by the drilling at the oil site due to

It is not understood however how the Graboids of the previous two films were awakened though some fans think that the ones in Chiapas, Mexico were awakened by the drilling at the oil site due to the excess heat and seismic activity generated. It is believed that the eggs survive being eaten by other animals due to the stink that seems to be present in all of the Grabiod's life stages; this is supported by the fact that months after the creatures hatch the eggshells have not been disturbed (shown in the fourth movie, also these Graboid's shells were not fossilized). While it has not been confirmed, Graboid eggs seem to be laid in clutches of four by a single Ass Blaster, though considering the view given by Tremors 3: Back to Perfection this is hard to be substantiated. Another possibility is that the eggs are laid communally by Ass Blasters who migrate in groups over great distances, this technique would help to propagate the species.
