The Plot Thickens...

**jengal** · #1 02-05-2008, 02:26 PM

I looked up more breeding info, and found some abdominal pics of a gravid leo. So, I check out my AFT, and lo and behold, she has two quite well developed eggs already in there. This gives rise to a very important question: Should I separate them so he quits having sex with her while she's already pregnant? The eggs are about the size of unshelled almonds - one white, the other sort of reddish. Input?

Yes they need to be seperated and she might drop them soon if they are that big already. I'd get that incubator ready. She will retain the sperm and drop eggs quite often, lol.

Marsha: I'm on my way out the door to get one, but I need to know whether to buy one that 'turns them'. There are two diff. ones available at the store I'm going to, don't know which one I need. Thanks!

NO NO NO....reptile eggs must never be turned once layed...a bit diff with geckos but never turn your herps eggs once layed you will drown the embryos! good luck

No you do not want to turn the eggs, the baby will die.

Thanks so much! Your advice means the world to me. I'm headed out the door... May have more questions when I get the thing. BTW, I just looked again and there appear to be 3 eggs, not 2 as I had thought. What will I do with them! Oh well, cross that bridge when I come to it. A little colony might be quite nice!

The one I was going to buy doesn't have humidity control, so I didn't get it. I found this one on e-bay that has 'rings to help control humidity'. Would someone check it out and tell me if it's OK? I'll keep looking for others, but I definitely can't afford those $400 ones.

That wont work for you Jen. It states in the description that it is not designed for U.S electrical currents.

Quote:

This product is designed to operate on 200-240 volts / 50 Hz European / Australian type current and will NOT work on standard USA / Canadian 110-120 volt / 60 Hz voltage.

They do make U.S versions though as I use the fanless Hovabator for my leo eggs. (Until my fridge dies and I can make a fridgebator.
