Hot Spots in the incubator?? Females holding sperm????

Jbuggs20 Apr 07, 2004 11:31 PM

Ok I got another egg this morning and I put it in the incubator under the second window so both deli cups were visible.. But the one side where the metal circle heater thing is was much warmer then the other side the deli cup started to fogg alittle so i moved it to the other side so i can see both in the same window if i look at a angle. And it stopped fogging up and has settled in well wonder if anyone else's incubators have a hot/cool side?
ALSO, do females hold sperm or after each clutch they have to be breed again to produce???????????? Because im not sure if my male that I have in thier with the females is makeing them gravid or if they were gravid when I bought them alittle over a month ago?!?!? My male is right between juvenile and adult size so im unsure if he is the one makeing them gravid.. I hope so cause the females are regular and he's Rainwater Albino so atleast il have a bunch of hets lol.. Any info on these topics would be great!!!!!!!!

I was reading a care sheet it said the second clutch are useally laid 10-14 days after the 1st.. Now my question is mine were 7-8 days apart and from 2 eggs to 1 so could it be actually from the same female????? Im thinking about seperateing the females but I dont know if they have to be breed between each clutch to have fertile eggs? Any info would be great..
