Question:

I have Bearded Dragon eggs and i am wondering if i can put them in a tupperware box.?

I have a pregnant bearded dragon, and i google how long it takes for them to hatch. It said 2-3 months. We are going to have to clean it between that time, and your not supposed to handle the eggs a lot. Can i put them into a tupperware box?I put my snake eggs in one, and they survived.But im wondering if i could do that.Or any suggestions on what i should do with the eggs?Because i HAVE to clean their cage of course !-Stephanie.

Answer:

You need an incubator. Did you not do any research when you realized she was going to lay eggs or was this a surprise? Hopefully you have separated them and if not she is weaken by the egg laying and he is going to want to breed more and stress her out worse. How many eggs can you really handle and do you realize that they hold sperm and can have several more clutches without breeding again!
go to there web sight it will tell you all you need to know they also have a 800 number that they can help you with it you can run off the papers on the web and it makes it nice to do a little nicer
Hi Steve I'm not an expert on Lizards - snakes are my thing but I CAN tell you that most specialist reptile shops will help you incubate the eggs. I worked for a shop in Yorkshire that had loads of private owners reptile eggs in their incubators. Get to know these people as they are very knowledgeable and always keen to help out. As for the tupperware box? Doesn't sound too good to me, but again - I'm not a lizard keeper.
Hi, You can use any sort of box really try to provide privacy as she may not like being watched by the male or u, some are sensitive when they watched haha, you can use either damp sand, soil or vermiculate from b and q anywhere like that. I use kids play sand for them to live in and for my laying box as mine is ready to drop : ) there is no special requirements for the female really. When the eggs come along try to keep them in the same position as they are laid and the best thing to use is vermiculate as it hold moisture and is full of calcium but if u use soil make sure there no chemical or fertilizers or anything like that added as this could harm the eggs e.g cause mould which will kill the eggs. u can incubate the eggs anyway u want really if u do abit of research on the internet u will find all sorts of ways but i will be sticking with the cheapest tbh as it all works the same. whatever u use, it only needs to be damp just as it holds together not dripping of water lol good luck
