Do eggs need a cool temp at night? How low should they
go? What about leo eggs? Beardie eggs?
BTW, I have finally found how long it takes to hatch a
leo egg - 3-6 weeks, but how long are the females
"pregnant"?
Finally, one of my leos laid a single egg... and
nothing since. Could this be due to lack of proper
diet, environmental conditions, or just old age? I
have no idea how old they are. The woman that gave
them to me had them for 1 1/2 years and they were
adult when she got them. Is there any way to
determine in a ball park?
Thanks!
