Thread: HELP!!!

hello!

you can do one of two things....

1.) leave the eggs in situ and allow them to incubate where she laid them.
2.) CAREFULLY remove the eggs, making sure that they are in the same position that they were layed in and place them in an artificial incubating container.

the incubating container does not have to be anything fancy..just a medium sized plastic dish with coco fiber or perlite as a substrate and one that has a plastic lid to cover it..

poke some holes ( very tiny holes ) into the side of the dish, about half way down the side. make small indentations in the substrate with your pinky finger, and place one egg in each depression. cover them lightly with some substrate..

you will need to check the humidity levels of the container ( always make sure the substrate stays MOIST but not WET ) .. just moist to the touch when a bit of substrate is squeezed between two fingers..

also, if you plan to let them incubate in situ, you will also need to monitor humidity levels closer and make sure the place where they are laid does not become waterlogged with excess water in the viv..

good luck!

i am sure others will be along shortly to give you more good advice!!

Yes, I'm going to leave them in situ as i have nowhere else to put them.
I just bought a 30x30x45xm exo terra for the hatchlings i will tell you when they hatch.

Also My female has layed about 7 eggs over 5 days but she still looks gravid. Could she still be pregnant?
