egg laying

when you get eggs do you leave them in a clump or do you seperate them?

im just interested to know, is there any pros and cons with either method?

Depends if they are stuck together. Will seperate if possible but incubating as a clump works just as well if partially buried in substrate

depends, sometimes theres no choice... once their stuck its to risky to get them apart.
If your there when is happening or just after then i keep them apart whilst their cooking..

If you can seperate them its best to i reckon....
because if they are stuck together you can have some eggs dieing and then possibly affecting other healthy eggs..aswell as humidity and heat issues.
its also good to seperate because you can then check on each egg to see how they are developing, by numbering them and keeping records on each....also good if you want to 'research' the development of different species of reptiles eggs
