Theres nothing wrong with maternal incubation but you have to be prepared for that. A humid hide/laybox, a way to boost ambient temps etc. You have to be responsible for the well being of these animals! Did you look into how you will take care of however many babies hatch? or how you will send them to new homes? This is a lacy act animal you cant just put an ad up online and ship them off all over the country. Grnted you didnt think she would go this year but you still have to be prepared. You paired the animal just because you didnt witness any copulations doesnt mean it didnt happen. I hope you will take some of this into consideration before doing it again instead of just getting annoyed at my post.
I know i should have had one on hand it was just bad timing for us, we had some personal issues here and put us behind financially unexpectedly. I was supposed to of already had one by now. Yes i know they are on the lacey act and before i even paired them i posted on a local group on fb and on CL and asked if anyone in my state would be interested in buying a baby if i produce some. Over 20 people said they want one and still do. Im also building a hatchling rack this weekend, already got supplies for it.
