So my Bearded just laid her second batch of eggs. The first one caught me unaware and they all died. I have never had them bread before, so I was surprised. Anyways...
This time round though I was ready. The incubator has been on for 3 days, vermiculite set and ready.
So I get home at 7.30 tonight after being out all day and take a look in the tank, no eggs. Hmm.. Then my wife tells me she has been scratching all day. So I decide to move some of the sand, and low and behold, I unearth an egg!!
Long story short - 12 in all. I candled them and set them the right way up in the vermiculite and now they are all in the incubator - which incidentally is a ExoTerra jobby with thermostat. The water tray is full and the surface temp of the Verm is 27c. thanks to a digital probe.
So... My question is... She laid them in the very dry sand at the other end of the enclosure, and only 1 of them was really plump. The rest were a little saggy. Not a lot - they were still firm if I put pressure on them - but not full like a balloon.
Am I too late?
