repto Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 if it has been through a brumation more than likely it is.I had a 2 yr beardy that I put out in the sunning pen the other day thinking whats wrong with you you skinny looking thing?have those other 2 been beating you to all the food?When I put them back I moved a plastic plant they have in there and there was a pile of dryed up eggs,she has never been with a male at all and still layed.not even anything to dig in??

A.PROPHECY Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 yea did come out of brumation but they are indoors and didnt seem to go into a deep sleep like the beardys did . they came out most days ,today i saw male bob his head very fast she got up on all her legs and started walking funny haha anyway ill put a box of soil and sand in tommrow and see what happens, if she does lay soon how long can the eggs be left without an incubator? should i buy one asap?

Insect Direct Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 one of my bds laid a clutch on artificial grass just next to the basking rock once, i thought it was a male until that day :oops: hadnt noticed it digging prior and wasnt fat at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockwork Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 hey, you will need incubator asap as they will need to be taken out when laid. beardies can lay even if not been with a male te eggs just not fertile. sometimes they dig and sometimes they dont. 1 of my girls digs up a storm when se lays. the other 1 hasnt laid yet but she is very fat lol, i think she a bit confused. congrats on the mum to be hope all goes well man :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockwork Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 yep it will be it very similar to mine i got mine from nz incubators. just gooogle it i only paid 240 for mine and it brand new in the box. you dont want 1 that has a turner in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repto Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 go for the same thing but without the fan,don`t need it for reptiles and they are cheaper??harder to get your humidity right with moving air,not saying it won`t work but the still air are fine for what you want.

rockwork Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 mine is a still air. we did have 18 fertile eggs in it untill 1 of the darling kids unplugged it for there phone. doh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insect Direct Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 if you read the fine print on tht tm auction its actually for the unit without the fan or turner, unless u want to pay extra :-? cunning advert ae, but yea thats about the cheapest i can find in nz? and works well for reptiles it seems. Overseas you see the same incubators cheap as chips but who knows if you'l ever see the product or not but it is tempting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
