    Incubation Experiment

    That was the only one I could find but she made it sound like there was one more in depth... Years ago this happened to us with bearded dragon eggs. We guessed by reading through PAPERBACKS- imagine that... READING! LOL Low and behold, we hatched most of them. So- erring on the side of setting...

    Darn! Good scientific effort though! We got a surprise clutch laid yesterday and I’m sure I’ve already messed them up. I couldn’t find the thread of yours Jeanette recommended.

    @Markw84 @Tom @Gijoux Here is Little Nugget… We fought hard to get this tiny warrior over 100g. She’s battling and at 109g tonight. It’s a relief knowing her temps and humidity hold perfect and steady in here.
