Ok so day 39 past the prelay shed and shes has laid.





now before I remove the eggs I want to be sure all is good. Right now shes wrapped around them and using a temp gun the egg at the top reads at 87.8 f. I didnt want to bug her to much but from what I can see there is at least 5 good eggs, havnt seen a slug but wont know exactly until I take them away.
I have had my incubator run steady for a week and a half at 88-89f according to the digi thermometer. However the repti temp just came today (talk about timing) so I have placed the probe by the thermometer inside the incubator. I also just now made the shoebox with vermoculite set up. I used the plastic shoebox no holes put in 5 oz of vermiculite to 5 oz of water and mixed it up good. It covers a third of the bottom of the box. I then put a piece of egg crate that fits the box perfectly snug above the vermiculite. Then I put saran wrap over the box and clipped down the locking lid. It is now in the incubator coming up to temp. I only set up the box now as I was worried about the vermiculite drying some while waiting for the eggs to be laid. So now how long should I wait before taking the eggs? I am sure they should be fine with her until I am certain the incubator is 100% ready.
