Good Luck!!

 

[Sarah Austin]

just an up date... no improvements in the eggs :'(

 

[Twobeardieguy]

Sorry to hear that but don't give up just yet!! What is the humidity and temps at? As long as the eggs are not brown and smelling yet you are ok!!

 

[Sarah Austin]

temps are at 85... i dont know what the humidity is at.

 

[Twobeardieguy]

Are you using the strip type thermometer? If so those things can be off as much as 20 degrees! If you can I would go to a garden center and get a thermometer with a hygrometer that has a probe on the end! Your temps and humidity sound way off! Good luck...

 

[Sarah Austin]

its a tube like thermometer.. it came with the incubator...i will go to the store tomorrow and get the one ur talking about...also my dragon looks like she is carrying eggs again... is that possable?

 

[zebraflavencs]

Yes quite possible. One mating a year is all a female needs. She can and will retain sperm for months before actually producing eggs in some cases.

I also agree with Janie!! I had 9 clutches this year!! ;D

 

[Sarah Austin]

so they could be fertile? wow! i had no idea that they did that...thanx for the info!

 

[TheVirus]

Hey Lance,

Did you get nine clutches from one female?

Tim

 

[zebraflavencs]

Uh huh !
Janie

 

[Twobeardieguy]

I sure did Tim!!! And they where all good!! Then I had problems with mold with the last 2 clutches!! ??? We think it was from the water we used in the bator! Really up set us because there was a lot!! But I am thinking new season!! ;D

 

[Sarah Austin]

UPDATE!!! Aires layed another clutch of eggs today 24 of em!!......i got a humidity gauge and i was wondering what the humidity should be?

 

[zebraflavencs]

70-85%.
Correct me if I'm wrong, folks
Janie

 

[crypticdragons]

thats a good range. I keep mine right at 80% 85 degrees (but i think im going with a lower temp next season)

 

[Twobeardieguy]

Yup I also keep mine 80-83%, How are the other eggs doing? And congrats on the new eggs!!! ;D

 

[Sarah Austin]

the other eggs havent changed... :-\ ....how do i get the humidity up that high? right now its at 50%....sorry for all the dumb questions im just neew to this.

 

[crypticdragons]

What kind of incubator are you using?
if its a havobator you can add water to the plastic tray in the bottom or you can put a cup in the incubator with water in it. if the heat is right the humidity will rise with the added water. do you have your substrate your eggs are in hydrated? what do you have the eggs in substrate wise?

 

[Sarah Austin]

yes its the kind of incubator you said..i have the water in the bottom...the eggs are in hatchrite substrate....the bag says no need to add water to it...
