Damp vermiculite is the best incubation medium to use. Should be one part vermiculite to one part water by weight. Incubate at 82-85F. It is best to incubate in a separate container than the cage, as it is much harder to monitor temps and humidity in the dragon's cage. If you are stuck, keep the eggs in moist moss, papertowel, untreated soil or vermiculite in a deli dish big enough to hold all the eggs and monitor the temperature so it stays within 82-85F. A heating pad can be used set on low but the eggs should be monitored constantly to ensure they do not get too hot.
