I'll see if I can find mine in the cellar but it was originally or chickens and to be honest I've had more luck with a damp coconut / peat substitute in a cricket tub on a heat mat

Has she been with a male? Are you sure they'll be fertile?

i was considering just using a heat mat, shes always been with the male but i am taking her out as she is very thin. i dont know if the egg will be fertile as the person we got them off has never incubated them before, so why they had a male and a female i dont know.

Well, if I find it I'll drop you a line.

If I can figure out what sex Laz is, I may be interested in a baby companion for him/her. Will you be selling them?

im going to let them have at least a shead and be feeding well before i let them go. the sex is meant to be determined in the first 21 days so if you know what temp you had it at it may help with the sex :)

Yes, when I bred my beardies I always kept them 8-12 weeks to ensure they ate well and were healthy.

Unfortunately he/she was the miracle story I posted about. I would guess the lower side of the temps (male?) but I'm not sure.

So it will have to be a female companion - even if they didn't fight as babes, as soon as they go in with the adult females two males would go bezerk.

I'm going to nip into The Snake Shop when I get chance as John's going to sex him/her for me.

i plan to incubate them for female, for if i cant re home them or just end up keeping them they can stay together
