Rich, that's not good to hear. Was there something that may have triggered her to leave the eggs? Good luck with the incubation.

Hey Brandon,
how's it going? I think the temp drop last night. it was Chiquitas first time laying eggs. she had a perfect coil on the everyday except this morning. im in at a temporary residence, am imn contract with my new place and have them in the garage. i have about 14 bearded dragon cages in there to. so during the day when the heat lamps were on it is about 86 degrees in the egg box, the temp gradually got there and then go down when the lights went off. thats also another factor. anyway i have the eggs at 84 degrees. do you think it is warm enough or should i raise or lower?? thanks a lot

Rich, I would raise the temps to about 87 if you are going artificial. If she is back on the eggs, keep them at 84. I'm not sure if she's back on them by your post.
