Frilled Neck laying her eggs (pics)

[andyscott]

Early Wenesday arvo (last week) I thought Id check on my gravid Frilled Neck,
I knew she was due any day and she was starting to look like she was gonna burst.
To my suprise I was lucky enough to catch her in the act of laying her clutch.

As its her 1st clutch I was expecting 3 to 4 eggs (hoping for 5 or 6, lol)
but they just kept popping out of her.

How long will they take Andy ? and are they the same as bearded in size of the eggs and incubation time?
I am not up with Lizards and very curious ...also how big are the eggs?

Hey RBB,
Im not sure on the size of beardies eggs as Ive never breed them to compare.

The eggs are a little over 2cms long, I have no idea how she carried them all.
As for incubation time, Ive set the incubater a little cooler at 29.9 to 30.2 degrees.
Im hoiping this will result in more females in the clutch.
Although it may take a bit longer for them to hatch, my guess would be 55 to 60 days.

Ive received a few PMs of interest, so Ive started a list and am happy to take a few more names.
Cheers Andy.

Hi Mark,
They will double clutch, but as this clutch was so big and it was her 1st.
I wont put the boy with her again this year, want to get her condition up.
Cheers Andy.
