So.........if Pebbles becomes gravid will she get her orange all at once or will she gradually get darker and darker orange on her? And once she gets gravid....will Bam Bam mate with her right away or maybe not at all and how long does it take to lay the eggs? I'm just asking because I'm poor and putting off buying a Hovabator thing....

I'll noticed a little, then the will burst out with a lot pretty quick. I do notice subtle indications before...usually. They may be mating already, mate again later, and maybe get a quickie before you shut the lights out too.

I think ones chances of seeing "it" happen are better when the males are kept separately, then females introduced. If you see any headbobbing, or push-ups, chances are he's already done his job. She can be gravid for 2-4 weeks. I think its related to how much she is, her overall health, conditions of the tank, etc.

Incubation time can be anywhere from 40's - 50 some days. Check some reptile classifieds...ask around about incubators. Or just keep them in a decent temp room. They may take a bit longer to hatch, but I think they will be fine anywhere from 75-82.

Okay I'm not calm anymore. Pebbles still has faded orange baby orange color but she is definitely getting darker orange too. She has a little towards the back of her face too. I think I am gonna do the deal posted here for the incubator, vermiculite, and deli cups. I'm gonna go read John's post more thoroughly because they just have paper towel in their cage so I need to make a digging place. Yeah...definitely not calm anymore.

Use your imagination...you'll think of something
