Ok so 2 days ago my 3 year old bearded dragon laid her first clutch, and yes she was with a male. Right away i went to the pet store and bought supplies. They are in a plastic storage container with moist sand and moss. I have the temperature at 83 degrees about and humidity around 75%. So far 3 eggs collasped in and i read that means they are not fetile so i threw them away. The other eggs have big yellow spots on them and on the bottom they have a reddish purplish spot, is this normal? I just wanna make sure im doing everything right. Thanks
Do not use aspen or wood chips if you want your eggs to hatch. The Wal-Marts in my area do not carry vermiculite, but they do carry perlite, which is another good choice. I buy vermiculite from small plant nurseries.
Vermiculite or pearlite if you are in a bind and need it right away. I'll link another alternative for you below in sources if you want something that is specifically for eggs. It is a nice mixture that a local breeder here in Ohio came up with, and it seems to be pretty good stuff. It is called HatchRite. I would avoid wood type substrates, they are not in the best interest of your eggs. Vermiculite, pearlite, and hatch rite will all also help keep your humidity where it needs to be for the eggs, which is extremely important.
Why would you're taking them interior the 1st place in case you probably did no longer be attentive to what to do? As for hatching them (in the event that they're nonetheless possible) you will % an incubator, i'm hoping you probably did no longer turn the eggs on account which will kill the toddler snakes. in the event that they do hatch you will % tanks (curiously 4 separate tanks because of the fact it is what number eggs you took) additionally warmth lamps a hiding rock, water bowl and a good substrate for toddler snakes. they can't stay mutually whilst they're born, snakes are a solitude animal and in the event that they're mutually will maximum in all likelihood combat or no longer consume from tension. the 2nd they hatch please touch a vet to ensure what sort of snake they're and in the event that they % any specific standards, you're in all likelihood no longer likely to be waiting to return them to the wild so i'm hoping you're arranged to safeguard those animals for feasible two decades if no longer longer.
