Ok, my beardy finally laid her eggs, i made her do this in a seperate container and all that jazz, but the incubator i bought online is going to be another week away GRRRRWhat i want to know is whether they will be fine in the soil they are in at the moment or whether i should get a heat lamp to help keep the soil warm, or if i should put them in the vermiculite and just have it out in the open like that, or anything that will help them develop.If everything went to plan i would have been fully prepared for this but the postage got held up and i want to give them the best possible chance of surviving
you can find deals on h-d super glides and sportsters in that price range. cant figure out why you would be looking at a honda
They should be fine for a week as long as you keep them warm. I wouldn't use a heat lamp because it can dry the eggs out and you risk overheating them. You could always use a heat pad hooked to a thermostat or rheostat until you get the incubator if you happen to have them. I would get the eggs in the vermiculite now so you don't have to handle them later and risk damaging them. I like to use small containers with only a few holes, if any at all. I've incubated bearded dragon eggs at temperatures of 82 to 85 degrees.
if i was in your situation i would get a heat source (heat mat, lamp) but then they would need to be moist so drizzle a little water on the substrate but not too much.just so it is slightly wet.keep your eye on them so they dont dry out. you could also use damp kitchen roll over the eggs if you decide to use a lamp. IMPORTANT! DO NOT TURN THE EGGS OVER FROM HOW THEY HAVE BEEN HATCHED! this can drown the embryo within the egg and kill it.
