Question:

Can Bearded Dragon eggs last a few days without an incubator?

My dragon out of no where is digging and needs to lay her eggs. We know what to do, but question is, we have an incubator that needs a new fuse we can go get tomorrow, if its not fixable we can go buy an incubator tomorrow, should I make her wait to lay her eggs til tomorrow, or just let her lay them now, then put them in their containers with vermiculite..etc, and where should I put them until I get the incubator tomorrow and its stabalized? Thankyou!

Answer:

hi there your going to want to candle them Weather or not there in the nesting boxes means nothing, Do this by taking a LED flash light and shinning it under the egg it should be red and almost like a bull eyes if so its fertile (if you didn't breed her to start with they cant be fertile sometimes they just lay eggs) Once you sort that out take them off the moss and on to the vermiculite, less water the better i Soak a little water in and squeeze out the water so its like a ball of vermiculite that should crumble apart.. set them in the vermiculite and set the eggs from 80F<females 83F -34F < a mix or 86F -88F Males. good luck it takes around 60 days Also if you would like to join a forum join geckoforums its the best by far. Good luck!

Sounds healthful to me. in case you incubating for a male, it is going to hatch out any day now. yet whilst its for a woman you nonetheless have some approximately 14 extra days. you recognize in case you slowly enhance temps you may brighten the colour of your gecko a tad bit. (that's on condition that your incubating for woman)
You could keep them in either, just make sure the vermiculite doesn't have fertilizer in it. Just make sure the eggs stay moist. Check my answer to your other question for another suggestion to hatching medium.
