well she finally dug in and laid, the only change i made was switching the vermiculit into a deeper bucket and compacting it a bit, this seems to have done the trick. she laid 14 eggs,they are very large from what ive read/seen of this species eggs and they seem fertile, ill chek tomorrow (Candling i suppose?)
right now they are in a small tuperware dish about 5 inches across and 2-3 inches deep, i would guess its about 12-16 ounce capacity. they are resting slightly 1/3 burried in moistened vermiculite, i tried to keep them in as close orientation to how they were laid as possible. there is a lid (i wouldnt say neccisarily tight fitting) they are in a hovabator w/fan currently incubating at 76.5 F with a humidity level in the 75-90 range, the incu. is covered by a dark sheet.
the female, Kiala, shows the obvious weight loss and stress from this process, although i did get her to drink quite a bit today. my main priority now is to get her back into peak health.
ANY RECOMMENDATIONS/SUGGESTIONS about the incubation and/or female care would be MUCH APPRECIATED, thx alot for all the help ive had through these forums -ryan
