Okay, I was having my doubts but it seems like the female I bred is definently gravid! When I handled her today she was real squishy and swollen in the last third of her body. It has been 27 days since her first copulation.(I put her in twice) If all goes well I should have eggs in 1-2 weeks!

Just a few questions I want to clarify:

1. Is 78-82 degrees a good temp. range for incubating eggs?
2. What size container do you guys use as a laying box?
3. How long will it take for the eggs to hatch?
4. What mediums do you guys like to use for egg-laying and incubation boxes?

Thanks.
