She only laid one which is less than previous years. I had her x rayed before hibernation as I didn't want her to retain any but she didn't have anymore inside. Hopefully this year she will lay more

Thanks all. It's the first fertile egg my adult hermann has laid. It was amazing to watch. She seems to be very healthy and has quite an appetite.

Pics of my first hatchling.

I used a hobavator with vermiculite. I initially made the vermiculite moist but not over moist. I then sprayed it with water once every other week but had 2 shallow plastic containers in full of water. what would you suggest moving forward? thanks

after 3 years of infertile eggs I thought I would check as it had gone past the time scale I had been told. The egg sack was really hard when opened.

It had reached 69 days in the incubator at 32 degrees. so I thought I would help by gently opening the egg.to see if there was a hatchling in there.I found a perfectly formed baby but its not moving and the remainder of the egg sack has gone hard. I have put it in luke warm shallow water hoping...

Hi I know these guys are only just over 2 so a bit young to be certain. But does anyone thing these are going to be girls? Thanks Dan

I have 2 more females they have never laid yet. I shall make another nest for her. It was lucky I saw her laying this morning as she patted the mud down so well I wouldnt have found them as the weight loss was small.

yeah she chose to lay them half way down the slope so was only 4 inches deep this was enough for the 2 eggs she buried them and left. I then dug them out after. Do you think I should setup anymore nests or leave the one that worked this time?

Hi all, I saw my female digging yesterday but the ground was too hard so I quickly threw some mud and sand together and created a slope for her with a lamp above it in her greenhouse. I went out this morning at 10.00 and she was digging a nest after 40 mins she laid 2 large eggs. I now have...

Cheers guys I shall try that.

I cracked open the eggs today and unfortunately they were infertile, inside was a hard yolk. Hopefully next clutch will be fertile.

It' now day 83 and no hatchlings:( Do you think I should get the eggs out and candle them or just leave them for now?

cheers guys can't wait I shall update you soon.

The eggs have now been in the incubator for 6 weeks at around 32c. Hopefully they are fertile a couple are showing signs of a slight shadow inside the egg on different parts.

thanks guys for the advice. I think I shall be safe and keep it dry for the first time.

The vermiculite is dry. I shall take the sponge out. thanks[hr] Danny does it matter if the vermiculite is dry?

so what species do you keep?

Have you had eggs successfully hatch?

Thanks glad its ok didnt want to disturb them.
