I have 66 eggs from 3 clutches that have filled my 2 incubators too. I still have a coupe weeks before the first clutch starts hatching and I'm hoping Fiona won't drop another clutch on us before then! She was already gravid when we got her and this is our first time with eggs and babies, so I...

My guess is that the eggs are probably already collapsing due to lack of humidity. I guess the only way to know for sure is to carefully uncover them and take a look. Eggs usually incubate for 8-11 weeks (I think that's the average) with around 60 days being common. I really don't know what to...

Congrats! I am currently 1 week into incubation of Fiona's (and my) first clutch of 24 eggs. So, I understand how excited you are. I hope everything goes perfect for your little eggs and that you will be a proud granddaddy again very soon! Ali

From everything I have read on this forum, I think most people would advise you not to slit the eggs - ever. Just wait it out and see if they come out on their own. If they don't, they are probably not strong enough to make it on their own. Plus, if they are just taking their time, you could...

I could be wrong, but I haven't heard of anyone successfully hatching eggs in the tank with the parents. First of all, if the parents are laying and stepping on them, they can change the orientation of the egg and smother the embryo. But the even bigger issue is humidity levels. Eggs need to be...

Al is doing much better now. He has been eating well and running around like normal. He is in his own space now, which I'm sure will help. I will reduce the vitamins a little too. He has a flourescent reptisun 10.0. I think he may have been growing and was extra tired. That always happens with...

Thanks for the replies, Al has a reptisun 10 in his tank. He can get up to 6 inches from it on his basking log, but it is about 15 inches to the bottom when he's running around. I am giving him reptivite and calcium with d3 daily because he is still small. Tank temps are about 95-105 basking...

Hi everyone, My subadult male beardie is approx. 12 inches long. I got him a few weeks ago and he has been fine until yesterday when he suddenly seemed very lethargic. He just hangs kinda limp on his basking log. He is still eating, but not as well as usual. We have soaked him and are hand...

I candled some of the eggs last night and they looked fertile. I saw a little dot and some veins, so I guess we are going to have babies in a few months. Everything looks good so far, but I still feel a little lost. I'm doing some research to make sure that mommy and eggs stay healthy and I just...

Looks like we are in the same boat. My beardie layed her first clutch of 24 eggs yesterday. I finally candled them and they are fertile! I put them in the incubator at 84 degrees and 80-85 % humidity. They are sitting halfway covered in damp vermiculite inside of a tupperware container with air...

I live about 30 minutes from the Oceanside store of LLL Reptile. I order 1000 crickets by phone in Mondays and pick them up in the store on Tuesdays. The cost is only $15 for any size cricket. I looked on the website and found out that it only costs $20 for 1000 crickets with shipping so I may...

This is so exciting! My husband swears he isn't going to be able to keep it together when he becomes a grandpa since he is this excited about BD eggs. I have 6 kids and they are all waiting on pins and needles for the next clutch and eventually for baby beardies! I got brave last night and...

Thanks Aaron. I have been pampering the new mommy since she finished laying. She had a nice warm bath and was handfed greens,dubans and crickets all with calcium powder. You are right, there is very little I can do except ensure proper temps and humidity and hope for the best. I did read the...

Thanks so much. I'm too nervous to pull them out of the incubator and candle them. I think I'll just wait a while and see what happens. Can someone explain what the eggs are supposed to feel like? I was expecting them to be harder, like a chicken egg from the grocery store. instead they felt...

Okay, I know that beardies should not be bred until 2 years of age, but my little girl just layed eggs today. We just bought her 2 weeks ago from a reptile store where she was with a male. They said she was a sub-adult, but they were not sure exactly how old. She is quite a bit larger than my...

Congratulations! We also got our first clutch of 24 eggs this morning. I am SO excited, even though we had not planned on babies. We just bought Fiona 2 weeks ago, and I guess she was already gravid. Can you tell me how you know if the eggs are fertile? I have heard that infertile eggs are...

We have a female beardie (Jasmine), who is about 8 months old. I had never seen her wave until today. We brought home an 8 month old male beardie yesterday (Big Al or Aladdin) and today I put Al's quarantine cage just within eyesight of Jasmine's and suddenly she started to wave. At first I...

WOW! That is a lot of growth in 1 month. Good job! Ali

I'm sitting here LMAO!! My daughter says she"s pretty sure PETA is coming after you. HA HA HA Pam Anderson is going to think that Barbie thing was a reference to her! That was hilarious, you've got to make more!

Hi everyone, My name is Ali and I'm new here. My husband has been wanting a beardie for a while, so we got one on Saturday and she(?) is so cute! I'm totally in love with her. I've always been a herp person, we have 3 ball pythons,1 corn snake and 2 box turtles, but the beardie is the coolest...
