No problem on the Jacking... I have posted with these skinks before and never got a look. Schneider's need more fans!

My incubator is just standard Hovabator knockoff.. Have it set at ~83/85 depending on my room temp. my apt. can get very hot sometimes. I am using vermiculite, somewhat moist but have noticed that the egg seems fine even if the medium gets dry. And it was laid on dry medium and didn't even have a look of drying up. I would assume these skinks bury the eggs under sand - dry but humid??

As for the other herps.. I have about a dozen snakes(cornsnakes, Mexican kingsnakes), half dozen turtles, tortoise and a terrapin, half dozen frogs, 3 Schneider's and a blizzard leopard gecko.. I breed the snakes every other year or so. And have tried to stimulate the skinks to breed every year but this is first time they have done anything but "fool around". - they do that all the time! - I have a small zoo.
