I agree with all you have said, I know you work these animals meticulously and take all necessary precaution to be successful. I understand all this and have nothing but respect for you and your work, same goes for Marcia.

However I see things differently for having experienced other ways, where you see one formula, I see more!

It seems unlikely that capras nest only once a year in nature, it seems even less likely that a second clutch would be laid in similar conditions as the first in the season, and so on.



All incubating eggs need a rest period, without it the embryo will not grow properly. You have experienced that 3-5 degree is tolerated by eggs, perfect this is what I need to know. A slight temperature drop needs to be constant, not just occasional for the embryo to develop normally, so I want to make sure we understand each other on this.



I know many thins I say will sound strange to many, but you have to see things how I see them to understand my thinking, while most of you are trying to duplicate nature for your lizards, I try to focus on there physiological needs, my husbandry has nothing or little to do with nature, I study the animals need then supply with the best tools I can, my goal is not to make super breeders out of them, but my experience shows that when we support them they out perform expectation. Therefore its there performance that tells me if I am providing properly, not literature.
