... ok, so for artificial incubation is needed a bit higher temp than what i sayed, but for mathernal incubation it is ok 29-30 C? I have one 4x3x2h cage that is keeping temperature with no more that 1,5 C variation (due to the switching on/off the hating system). The female i want to breed next year for sure (the other i'm undecided yet..) is 12ft and i'm thinking to put her in that cage before egg laying. Smaller cage is better i think because will allow me to control humidity and temperature in more stright way. For the humidity i tryed to set up the empty cage for to try and it worked well putting water bowl near the heating system. There is one wooden box i built under the heating system (that is on the top) where i can put one water container with water about 6cm high and one hole on the top of the cage that i can open for to put warm water when it is going to finish. air holes can be regulated also. I kept the cage switched on for 15 days and humidity in the air was always between 88 and 92% at 29/30C temp. What you think, can i try so expecting good hatch rate? The female is a bit agitated usually in the cage is not very friendly and if disturbed she is hissing and moving fast, i've fear the in the attempt of removing the eggs for to put in the incubator she will go mad and damage them. I'm interested also to see her doing her work more naturally.
Thank you really much for your help and time.
