Well, good news (I hope). She just spent the last 2 hours digging a hole and popping out eggs. She's so cute pounding her head into the dirt, packing it tightly around the eggs. She's also got STRETCH MARKS (read: a little loose skin). I couldn't believe it. But she has been eating and I have been fortifying her diet with extra calcium, and I'm hoping that some of the eggs will be fertile. I know I don't sound like the responsible parent, and I'm probably going to freeze some of the eggs (I can't handle more than 5 or 6 baby beardeds). I've got the incubator all set up (81 degrees F with 2:1 vermiculite:water) and a felt tip marker to mark the top, and responsible homes already found for most of them. Wish me luck.

-Ben
