Ive had my baby hermans for about 4 years. The girls i think are 3 or 3 1/2. Last week we found an egg, then another and another tonight. Ive figured out which one it is but its totally unexpected. I had no incubator set up or anything and although i thought i knew all about breeding i panicked! After about 3-4 days we realised the first wasnt fertile so got rid, the second one got smashed before we had chance to do anything (i have 5 so easily done). She hasnt dug and layed them they are on the top and just one at a time so this is what got me thinkin they arnt fertile. I was meant to measure her tonight but totally forgot.
Weve just found the 3rd tonight and our incubator is almost set up so ive put it in there, decided to so even if it isnt fertile, temps and humidity should be right for when they are.
My question is-
how do i know when they are fertile?
Whats the best thing to keep the eggs in whilst in the incubator?
We noticed this one has what we thought was blood on it, are we safe to still bath her whilst shes laying?
And im currently in the middle of making them a new table, how deep should i make it for when they do need to bury? And whats the best thing to keep them on to help them? I currently have them on chippings but want to change this.
Sorry for all the questions
