1. This comes from Kathy's book, she says her corns average about 39 days.

2. Yes, you need to get a container about twice the size of the female and put some dampened sphagnum moss or paper towels in it. You might also want to remove her water when she gets really close to laying time so she doesn't lay them in the water.

3. I am feeding mine once a week (as usual) but adding a hopper to the female's meal. My male just gets the same amount.

4. The female won't incubate the eggs. You can buy an incubator, but some people say the Hovabator is unreliable and everything else is really expensive. You can make one pretty easily I think. I plan on putting the eggs in a 6-quart sterilite, putting that in an aquarium (on top of some bricks), put a few inches of water in the aquarium and getting a piece of plexiglass to put on the top to keep the humidity in. I have an old aquarium heater with an attached thermostat to heat it. The sterilite should have moistened vermiculite, sphagnum moss, or perlite in it. If you research a little I am sure you can find more detailed insructions.

5. The babies will be common I think, because Miami is just a really pretty common. (I'm not sure about it though)

Good Luck!
