Thank you guys so much for the information. I also posed this conundrum on other forums, but if the question isn't about how big a rat to feed an adult, or why sheds aren't in one piece, the pickins' of experienced hobbysists who might be able to help are nil.

Knowing now that the females don't actually incubate as much as brood is excellent information to have.

I'll hopefully have no more than 4 clutches laying while I "vacate", so I'll have a decent amount of prep work to get their environments to where they will be optimal for keeping those eggs healthy until I swoop in and snatch them all away.

Again, thanks.

Michael.
