leopard lizard eggs

username854 Jun 25, 2005 07:19 PM

today one of my female long nose leopard lizards layed five eggs. this is my first effort to breed leopard lizards, and i dont have a whole lot of experience breeding anything else besides bearded dragons. well anyways, i never witnessed any breeding behaviors between my leopards and i think the eggs may be infertile.most of them have a large pink spot on the top center of them and i was wondering if this is a sign that maybe they are infertile?
Thanks, Josh

man i was worried for a little bit, thanks for the godd news, i have them incubating at 84-88 because i dont really know the exact temperature, i have another female who will also be laying eggs within the next few days, so i hope they will be fertile too.its amazingt how different they are from collareds, but yet so similair.

84 is excellent temp for these eggs, 88 might possibly be a tad on the hot side...you do have some hunidity in your cup? IS it covered or open to the air? What sunstrate for eggs were used?
