Those of you that breed (or have bred) beardies, I'm just curious.
What temp did you incubate at, and how many days did the eggs take to hatch?
I've got mine incubating at about 29-30 degrees. The eggs from Phoenix's first clutch look huge  They were laid 23 days ago.

The warmer the incubator the quicker they'll cook.....29-30 is good & you'll probably have more females..........but most will debate this! time will tell. |

It would be interesting to see what the average hatch time is, and what temps people have used.

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Aug-07 Location: SouthAustralia Gender: | | | Ditto.....but you may not get much response.............i myself have been playing with temp to test theory on gender breeding.............in the future when male or female is needed to be kept for bloodline breeding it will be essential for me to get what i want without keeping full hatch....
Eg: i have some that were bought as adults & i dont believe they will get to there full potencial as they werent on good health plan when young....so to keep there quality bloodline...i will need correct gender to do so.
I do realise this is probably not quite what you asked ,just wanted to explain myself!
