A friend of mine was able to take in a clutch of eggs that my female laid and they will be hatching at the end of this month and by the middle of next. My question is: If one parent is a yellow color and the other a tan, what would be the 'ratio' of the babies coming out yellow and tan? She laid 20 eggs in all but 6 didn't make it. I ask since I would like to get another yellow female. Delilah, my female, has a really pretty yellow but because of her neglected years, it became slightly dull.
Also, I would like to make an enclosure for them for the outside, but I was wondering what type of shade I could use. I want them to get enough sun, but not too much that they could end up dying since where I live temperatures get to 120. We don't have humidity, but temps of that high could kill them. So I was wondering what kind of shade I could use, and what type of material could I use to build the enclosure? I was thinking a wooden would be suitable, but I'm not sure what kind of material the base should be. They would only be outside for a period of time each day under my supervision, but as I said, I would like to know what materials would be beneficial for them!
