So do you add water to the vermeculite at all during the incubating period? I read that you should so I was wondering when. So far we have not touched them, we have left them alone. Again thank you and everyone else for your help and input.

Ok so what if I see condensation one day but not the next? Does that mean I need to add a bit of water to the vermeculite? Also should the eggs stay soft, or do they turn hard like chicken eggs?

Thank you everyone. I am feeling a little better. My humidity is staying between 75-85 now. :mrgreen:

We got eggs last night!!! 29 of them. I could see veins in most of them. Some were just clear looking but I still put them all in the incubator. It sure was tedious digging them out of the dirt. Here are a few of the eggs. The only problem was the dirt stuck to them. How do you guys get...

Here are a few pictures of mom and dad pre mating Chloe (mom) Cinder (dad) Together This is actually an older picture, they are in malamine cages now (sperate of course unless they are breeding). No sand substrate, as you will notice on the picture of Chloe, we keep them on newspaper...

Our first girl is in the lay box right now digging away. I am hoping that by tonight the eggs will be in the incubator. :mrgreen: We are so excited! Stephanie

Hi Ernie, Thank you. We were stressing because the ambient humidity is at 80% - 84%. When we open the door it goes down to about 75% - 79% depending on what it was before we opened, and how long it is open. Again thank you, I think we are just stressing to much. :mrgreen: Stephanie

We are waiting on eggs and have a wine cooler all set up temp holding at 84 degrees. My question is what is the ambient humidity of the incubator supposed to be? I have read 80% and have read not to worry about it just keep the vermiculite moist. What do you do and why? Thank you, Stephanie

hehe! Thanks guys. I think he is a smartie too. :mrgreen: Proud mama here. Stephanie

Last Wednesday on the way home from work I had my 4 year old son strapped in his seat in the back seat of my car. The music was up and my daughter and I were chatting in the front seat about what was for dinner that night. All of a sudden my son screamed, "MOM! LOOK THE MOON IS IN SHED!"...

Man I wish I had heard that before I purchased. Everyone I talked to said good things. I had such a weird feeling too right after I purchased. I just shrugged it off as buyers remorse. I guess I learned my lesson. While they say they breed their own animals they are still a pet store. I...

Ha! I bought one from them too, back in January. That little thing has almost been the death of me. You are right it looks like a normal, nothing like the picture. How big is yours? Mine was so small it got lost in the egg crate we put in the tank! Also, she/he decided not to eat. Turned...

Where do you live? If you are giving them away I will take them...assuming you are close to me. You might not want to put them on the porch, it is to cold for them and they will die. Stephanie

No you cant feed those to him. They are way to big. You will definitly have to worry about impaction if you feed those. Where did you get them from? Maybe you can call them and tell them you didn't realize how big they were before you ordered, and that you have a small guy who cant eat them...

not to hyjack someone else's post, but how much is to much for humans? I have all of my beardie breeders in my house right now, there are 113 uvb bulbs that me and my family are exposed to. Will they cause cancer in my children? I have been thinking of this more and more lately, and am...
