Incubation

RyanDonnelly Dec 06, 2004 12:25 PM

I have bred my chams for the first time and she sucessfully laid them and am incubating them but the eggs have began to collapse a little bit. I have read that this means the humidity is too low so i increased it and nothing has happend in the last 3 days they have stayed that way and not ever one has began to indent if anyone has any helpful information it would be well appreciated! And also i have read that taking them into the bathroom and turning the shower on Really hot and they will enjoy all the humidity is this true?? Thanks Ryan

What temp are you incubating at? Hopefully, 84* or preferably lower. Also, if the eggs are too dry, spray a little water into the substrate you have her eggs in. Do not spray the eggs directly.
Hope this helps,
Cricket
