2 of my 5 babies have hatched. :blob5: They are all that remain from our 1st clutch. :cry: It is so exciting. I have moved them from the incubator to a 10 gallon tank. I have greens and water in there as well as a basking rock under the light. I have not set up the UVB yet. I will do...

Tonight while candling my 4 week old eggs one of them just all of the sudden popped. There was a perfectly formed little baby in there. I just burst into tears when I saw him. PLEASE PLEASE, be careful when candling. I am not candling mine any more. I feel horrible.

inside the incubator? My husband made a homemade incubator to keep up with our Bonni's 3 clutches. At first he tried a ceramic heat emmitter for heat, but it was too hot. Now he has one of the night bulbs in there and the heat & humidity is doing pretty good. Is it ok to use this bulb in there?

Can you put more than one clutch in the same container inside the incubator? If so, can someone tell me how you have yours' set up? what size rubbermaid container, how many eggs to one container? I have 4 sandwich size containers now with 5-6 eggs in each. My Bonni is about to lay another...

I did have one egg that had mold and he/she is doing just fine. Just keep monitoring them and make sure to open the lids weekly to give them fresh air. Just for a minute. Our 1st clutch is getting so big. Not much longer and they should be making their entrance. Bonni is doing great...

Hey there. Are you monitoring the humidity in the incubator itself or the sealed containers? I keep my probe in the incubator and keep the humidity 85-90 & mine have been ok. As far as the eggs, try wiping off the mold gently and seperate them from the others. They can still be ok. Also, I...

Hey...it's me. Try putting the wet cloth on top of the sandwich containers. I think the closer to the heat the better. Let me know if it works.

Are they in an incubator? The first thing to do is make sure that the embryo is on top and make sure not to turn them. I candle mine and make sure that the little clear circle is on top. I mark the top of my eggs just to make sure that they are never turned. You need to have the temp and...

I welcome advice so thank you. She is doing alot better now. Should I wait a certain amount of time to feed her and what should I feed her first. I will definately slow down on the protein,hey that will even save me a little $$ :wink: We feed collards, mustards, & turnips. She loves...

Ok we soaked her in a warm bath and she had a massive poop. The weird thing is that my husband thinks he found cricket eggs in the poop. Is that possible?

We keep greens in her cage at all times. She gets mealworms in her salad in the morning and then she gets approximately 5 supers. Mid-day she gets as many crickets as she can eat within a few minutes and then again in the evening. Is it true that the mealworms are not good for beardies?

She eats greens, apples, crickets, superworms, and mealworms. I just 2 minutes ago read that mealworms aren't good for beardies. Is this correct? Oh, she is 2 years.

She is on sifted playsand. I thought the same thing though. My husband said she pooped 2 days ago. How can I be sure? What can I do?

Someone please quickly tell me the symptoms of mbd. My Bonni has not been herself the past 2 days. She has seemed lethargic and today she can barely move her back legs. She mostly has stayed in one place all day. Also, one eye seems to be closed almost all the time. Please let me know what...

He's a beauty. Where'd ya get him?
