Hi there! My female beardie laid some eggs on the 8th of october. I know its a long way off, but what do I need to do when it gets close to hatching time? I have two microwave containers, each around 2 inches in height, and about half filled with vermiculite. The lids are closed at the moment and I open them up ocasionally to check moisture levels. smile.gif Do I need to do anything?

Hi hayley,

Your vermiculite should be damp.. about 1:1 by weight. When its around the 50 day mark start to check them daily because some will hatch early. Hope that healps.

Cheers

50 days! I thought it was between 60 and 70! Does it differ with higher temps? I'm sitting on 29-30c

Higher temps might make it faster but then you might cook the eggs or cause deformitys. Stick to 30c youll be fine! smile.gif
