well my allys R southers she laid a total of (9) eggs non made it it was 2 monthes later i didnt notice them until i started 2 clean the cage mayB next time ..how long until they mite have hatched will they hatch in cage or do i need an incubator ?? thanke Wayne

Too bad about the eggs!

They usually take about 60 days to hatch. You could theoretically incubate them in the tank, but when the babies hatch... I always provide a container with a moist substrate and the females almost invariably choose this spot to lay. When I see signs of digging, I know that it's time to start checking for eggs. Once the eggs are laid I put them in a little rubbermaid servin saver with some damp vermiculite. Then, I put them somewhere in my room where the temp stays fairly even usually in the low to mid 70s.

Hope you have better luck next time.
