A friend of ours had to go out of the country for a bit and he couldn't take his eggs with him. He has someone watching his Beardies but they wouldn't do the eggs. Hatching eggs and baby dragons are very new to us. We have only ever had adults so we are very new to this.
There's 17 eggs in total. They are supposed to hatch around the 9th of April. They do look like there is movement in them. We've seen movement in almost every egg. The incubator is at 81-85 degrees.
I have 3 tanks with lights for the poopers when they hatch. Should I have more for all of them? I was thinking 5-6 in each tank. Is this going to be too crowded for them? The three tanks are a 30 gallon, a 36 gallon and a 40 gallon. I also have a 20 gallon (old cricket tank that was put away due to acquiring dubia) but don't have enough light fixtures for a 4th tank. I have 2 extra MegaRay bulbs and an extra basking bulb with a ReptiGlo tube bulb for the 3 larger tanks.
I plan on feeding them baby dubia roaches. May get some crickets as well even though I can't stand the noise but the little crickets don't chirp so we may get some. Should I also offer greens?
I also read that they are supposed to stay in the incubator for 24 hours after hatching. Is this correct? This is also something I'm not too sure about because the humidity is 80% and I didn't think the humidity was good for Beardies.
Any advice and/or information would be greatly appreciated.
