Quick fix for nesting female.

[matt41gb]

This girl is like clockwork. Seems that she lays a clutch every month from July to January. It was a bit cool when I found her digging this nest, so I hung a heat lamp over her while she finished up. Seemed to work, she laid 5 nice eggs!

Jeff, this is the fine grain vermiculite I was talking about. I like it much better than the other kind.

I've had over 50 eggs laid this year. I've thrown out a ton of bad eggs.

She appreciated being toasty during her delivery, I'm sure. Very nice!

I'll have to try some of that fine vermiculite.

I like it because it doesn't clump up on the eggs. I've noticed that I got a lot of mold while using the other vermiculite.

I bet she appreciated having some heat while laying..
