Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I was just wondering How many of you on this Forum allow there female balls to incubate there eggs.

And if you have in the past but then stoped the female from incubating have you noticed any difference in egg production by the female ie more or less eggs per clutch.

I did it with my first clutch last year and will do it again with anything that drops this year. My girl from last year appears to have about the same amount of eggs in her as she did last year but in a few more weeks I can let you know for sure.

Here is an interesting read on maternal incubation:
