RE: incubation temp needed bearded eggs

Bearded eggs are super easy to incubate compared to other reptiles.

I have seen many clutches of eggs fluctuate indoors from 75 degrees at night to close to 90 degrees during the day and all of them hatched perfectly.

Also, I have had eggs hatch underground and babies emerge, in our southern california soil. Most of these eggs fluctuate between 68-75 degrees in about 12 inches of soil, and take about 4-5 months to hatch. I have had females lay close to the surface where the eggs are exposed to even greater temp extremes and they also hatched.

Many people keep their bearded eggs around 84-86 degrees. Normally, they will hatch in about 2 months when kept at these temps. I keep some of mine like this, and most in my gecko room where the temps range from 78-84 degrees. I still get the same ratios of males/females incubated both ways
