hay mate, rather than have all this info typed again, just do a search on it. You'll find a heep ofinfo already on here, and some pretty recent stuff too.

If after that, your still a bit up in the air, ask away

Cheers

Hey mate,

I use a cricket container to put my beardie eggs in and i use Vermiculite for the substrate.
I put in 40gs of Vermiculite and add 40gs of water to the vermiculite and mix it together (40:40)

I use a water Incubator for the eggs and have had good succes with it.

She just layed 1 egg....how long does it normally take?
How many eggs do you normally get ?
she is constantly digging but not laying.
:?

 

[Asharee133]

people can get around 50 in multiple clutches i've heard O_O

 

[lemonz]

well presuming its her first clutch, i'm guessing it will be smallest? then getting bigger from there untill she gets old. so prepare for the worst, a lot of clutches you'll see average at about 15-25 eggs, but in saying that they can lay up to 4 clutches

2nd egg

O.K she has only just layed her second egg.
This seems to be taking a long time.
Is this normal?

 

[Lollypop]

How old & how big is she length wise, & what temps have u got in her enclosure?
They usually lay them all at once..........so something needs sorting:|

She is only about 14 mths old and length is a bit hard as her tail tip it missing but as a estimate about 17" or 43cm and temps are at 30c

how many eggs now?

 

[reptilemanor]

keep us posted, sorry I can't offer any advice, hope she's ok though.

 

[Lollypop]

Has she laid anymore?? Is she lethargic or off her food??
30C seems hot to us, but is way too cool for a beardie - get them up to around the 40C mark basking spot, with cool end around 28C.
If she hasn't laid anymore, I'd be getting her to the vet. She's young but a good size, but she should at that size be capable of carrying anywhere from 10-20 eggs at least.
Have u also been feeding her heaps!, dusting her live feeders with calcium, & heaps of fresh veg & fruit?
Hope she's OK - please let us know - Kathy

 

[jodocast]

still only had the two......she seems fine but ????

 

[jodocast]

All is fine.
Got home from work monday night and she had layed an additional 19 eggies so I have a total of 21 now.
Thanks all for your help and advice.
Cheers

 

[reptilemanor]
