Hello All,
I am a recently new bearie enthusiast. Have wanted one for years and recently took on board 2 12 month old dragons. A male and a female.
The female who goes by whatever name my son is feeling like, currently 'Padme' showed all the signs of being pregnant, scurrying around, digging frantically, going off her food etc. Last week I felt definite bumps which after doing some research I'm almost certain were eggs. She had made a fairly big hole in the sand which she left open for 1 week (our sand is about 3-5" deep). Yesterday after returning from work, she is no longer lumpy looks much slimmer and the hole has been filled in and piled slightly higher than anywhere else.
So, I'm sure she must have laid eggs there, what should I do now? I bought in preparation some vermiculite but just wanted to check, if she's buried them there does that mean she thinks they'd survive there? Would they survive there? Do I dare dig it up, risking damaging the eggs? I have seen some YouTube videos of how to make homemade incubation setups, but wanted to get advice first.
Any help/advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
