My baby laid her first egg... HELP!

[binger]

I just found this after coming home from the vet....

She's now in her lay box:

BUT.... I can't pick up her incubator until tomorrow.... what should I do??? I've got a container of perlite and some water, but how can I safely keep the temps up overnight? Heat light? Anything?

I wish I could help in this one. All I can say is bless you two. I will suggest and Someone please correct if I am wrong, I would think you might get through the night with a heat pad under the container and keep an eye on your temps with a digital probed thermometer until your incubator gets to you.

I've got a thermometer, but no heating pad... and I'm leaving for work in 20 minutes!!! I'm gonna have to use the heat lamp from a distance and hope for the best... arrgh!

did your incubator come yet? Hope all is well and temps stayed good. Congrats on the future babies.

Got the incubator, and they're in it... I'm just tweaking the temps now. I've heard anywhere between 80-85 is right, but is that the air temp, or the substrate temperature?

...and thanks!

I think that is the egg.

The other thing looks like a pebble to me :| I'm not sure.

A smooshed poop, I think. I was gone most of the day, and when I came home I had an egg and some tiny poops. She layed 19 more eggs in her laybox after that....
