hey ari i have beeen told by a few people that because ring tails lay hard shelled eggs you dont have to provide a humid incubation tub just incubate in nething and they will hatch. do you think this is the case also

cheers Sam

Hi Jordo

Ring Tails produce hard shelled eggs. Most of the species, e.g. Nephrurus, Oedura & Strophurus produce soft shelled eggs.

Ring Tails prefer to incubate drier. And Sam yep eggs have been know to hatch in the enclosures, buried in the sand.

Problem with Ring Tails is the long incubation period & possibly diapause. Average is 90 - 200+ days I am told. These were at 155 days (5 months)
