I don't want to be a downer, but I guess you're skipping quarantine??Originally Posted by evan385
I have so many questions but the most important, how long does it usually take from the first confirmed lock to when they finally lay eggs? It seems like it will probably take about four months, since he started pairing his albino in November and she's only just laid her eggs. As of yesterday she is up to 1700g empty and had gained a whole 100 grams in just 10 days. Also as of yesterday she is up to 1950g full. By the time she's gravid she will most likely be 2000g+ and I am hoping for a big clutch. I'm so excited and can't wait for my first clutch! One thing I would like to do is to build my own incubator so I can have her and the eggs at my own house and go through the whole process. So if anyone wants to tell me how to build a successful incubator for cheap I would appreciate it
And eggs can take a few months. I have a proven girl who has been breeding since November and she's not showing any signs of ovulation. I'm guessing she might not go this season. So your girl may or may not have eggs. But I guess the average is ~ 3- 4months. But it could be longer.
For a cheap incubator, look at the DIY section. There are a lot of good cheap ones in there.
As a future tip, I suggest bringing the males to your house. I've seen breeder females stress to the point of going off feed and not breeding after a move. And moving eggs from your friends house to yours sounds tricky.
