Hello, I have two red headed agamas, they both came in to me gravid, and I am not sure how to set them up for laying.

Anyone worked with these guys before?

Things I really need to know are:
What is a good laying medium for them?
How moist should I keep the eggs?
What temp to incubate?

Thanks

Phil

Hi, I have sent for the best, he can tell you the rest, lol

My buddy John works with the redheads and can tell you anything you need to know. Hopefully when he has the time he will stop by and give ya a holler.

Best wishes with the girls let us know how they make out.

Hey Eve,
I didn't know your were a poet ... lol.

"I've already talked to Phil
and his mind I did fill".

All kidding aside,
He mailed me a day or two ago and I
gave him the heads up on working the
red heads.

But, thanks for the flowers anyway!

John

Your pretty good too, You always know what to do.
I'm happy to hear you took care things, we will see what the future BRINGS.

I hope the girls do "eggstremely" well, plenty of eggs means lots to sell.
You deserve the flowers it was my pleasure, a friend like you is quite a treasure!

Thanks very much both of you.

I have it all prepared for and I am just waiting on them to lay.
They are both eating still, and haven't shown any nesting behavior yet, though they are just packed with the eggs, you can see them very plainly. Hopefully it wont be too long now. I will post with pics as soon as they drop.

Thanks!

Lol. yeah I gotta work on the poetry.

I know only a bit about how the red heads, I have been keeping like a bearded dragon just a bit higher temps. They have been taking crickets, mealies and roaches, and a few bites at flowers and colorful greens.

The girls were gravid when they came to me. I ordered a pair from Mark M. Lucas, and he mixed up the order and sent 3, a 1.2 group, and both the girls were gravid when the came in. They are eating well and putting on weight. They were kinda thin when they came in. I am just waiting for them to lay, I assume they will stop eating and begin scratching around the cage to find a nest soon, they are visually gravid, you can see the eggs, they look like a bag of marbles.

I will post before and after shots of them when they lay, and then of the babies when they hatch.
