Eggs and Incubation--Please Read--

ghost_pit2001 Apr 19, 2005 12:51 PM

Well normally I do not get eggs,but I was at Lee Watsons Reptile Swap and, a friend had a table, there he informed me hes newly w.c. brown basilisk laid eggs and he was going to dispose of them, by the way of a trash can. So I asked if I could have them and have a shot at incubating them, he agreed and I was on my way home with 10 new eggs. Now I know that if I did not know how to incubate them I should not have taken them, but I did, and tryied to find someone who knew how, but noone had knowledge, so I know have to incubate my newly found friends. So onto my questions, What tempature should they be at? Humidity level? Finally how long till they hatch? Information is greatly appreciated, any info will help.Thanks in advance. Rob

if you had known what to do immediately then you might have had a slim chance to incubate the eggs but i am afraid you are wasting your time. They needed to be marked and carefully moved without turning them to a moist location with a constant temp of 86F and high humidity. These are CWD incubation temps, but basilisks live in Costa Rica and their environment is very similar to CWD. I don't know the number of days required for incubation.
