.laid in or do i have to use vermiculite? obviously in the wild the eggs would be layed in the soil and left, so isn‘t this viable as long as constant temps are kept?ALSO, is it possible to tell if the eggs are fertilised or not? because i recently got my female 2/3 months ago and put her in with my male and i‘m not sure if they had much contact. They copulated once but his hemi penis didn‘t really look like it was going anywhere inside the female, does it need to do this or would it be a case of a simple ‘rub‘ thankyou for any help! :)
the female will take no part in incubating the eggs. She trusts the soil to do that for her. The soil would have to stay a constant temp for hatching water dragon eggs. The humidity has to stay fairly constant as well. As far as care for the eggs, don't turn them. When the egg is laid the embryo inside attaches to the egg wall. If you turn or tilt the eggs too much the baby inside drowns. I would find a good web site for hatching reptile eggs and follow the directions to the word. After so many weeks of the incubation length you might be able to candle the eggs.
