Update on Fluffy's clutch + pics
After much consideration, and buying an incubator and preparing it, I have decided to let my female incubate. Her cage environment seems ideal for this according to some articles I read on maternal incubation, and the eggs look good to me, as good as the day I found them, so I think she is doing a good job taking care of them. It has only been 4 days though...
Anyway here are some pics:
Daytime temps stay in the high 80's close to the eggs, with a warmer basking spot away from them. At night it drops to 80 - high 70's with a warmer basking spot away from them. I mist in the morning and at night and whenever I see the humidity get closer to 50%, and I keep the top of her tank covered with a towel. Before I mist she is usually totally covering the whole clutch, and as I start misting she will expose the top of the clutch, allowing moisture to settle on it.
I hope I am making a good decision for this clutch, and I am keeping my fingers crosssed.

Re: Update on Fluffy's clutch + pics
Question - are you measuring temps and humidity with a digital thermometer/hygrometer? I see one of those unreliable pet store dials right in front of her. I wouldn't depend on that being accurate.

Re: Update on Fluffy's clutch + pics
You bring up a good point... yes those are the cheap ones in her tank, I have been keeping the digital one I have in the incubator while I have been monitoring the conditions in there. I'll move that one into the tank seeing as I have decided to let her keep the eggs.

I hope this turns out well for you. I would be so nervous about leaving the eggs in with her. At least you do have an incubator, so if she looks like she is abandoning them you could get the moved. You definitely need to keep us updated as thing progress.
Fingers crossed for you.

Oh trust me, I am nervous... but I would be nervous about both methods seeing as I am a first-timer for both.
Thanks for the support

Correct me if I'm wrong.....but won't this...
Daytime temps stay in the high 80's close to the eggs, with a warmer basking spot away from them. At night it drops to 80 - high 70's with a warmer basking spot away from them.
...kill the eggs in a hurry?
