Forget the last post, she has already laid her eggs!

I just dug through the sand and found eight eggs! The only down side is that I do not think they are fertile. Here is a pic, what do you all think? I thought they were a little small, and kind of odd shaped. They seem as if they are not filled as much as they should be. Also, what do you use for an incubating medium and incubating temperature? Right now I have them in a sand soil mixture that she laid in, it is a little bit dryer than whats in her cage. They are currently incubating at about 80F. Any other advice about careing for the eggs would be great. Thanks a lot, Jake.

I've found frilled eggs that had dried to a raisin but once they were set up in the incubator they took in some H2O and hatched out fine. I've used perlite with sucess but soil/sand/spagnum mix is also very good. I incubate at 86f degrees. Eggs often start out the size of a large lima bean and put on weight as the lizard developes.

I added some more soil to my sand and soil mixture to make it a little bit more humid. They are starting to fill up a little bit so I am not really worried. I just don't know if I can wait 70 days! Does any one know the average lenghth of time between clutchs? Also, if at this point I were to put a diffrent male in with her would it disrupt her breeding? Would it even matter? Thanks, Jake.
