    Comment by 'mary prefontaine' in 'Egg Laying and the Laying Bin'

    I placed my eggs in a drawer and the temps are between 78-80. I try to keep the house around 78, so it keeps them that temp as well. Will this work? I also had run out of vermicilite one time and mixed the sand in what I had left, will this be ok? Do you have any posts on preparing for the big...

    URGENT: Need Help with Incubation without Incubator...

    why do you need one? I am learning from others that if you just place you're eggs in a container with a few pin holes and place them in a drawer or closet where its dark and the temps remain constant, (75-78) that they will do fine. I'll let you know if thats true. Mine are in my drawer and due...

    more questions.

    Now that I have a good idea on how they should look to be fertile, my next question is how long should I leave that laying bin in the cage for? Or should I just figure on leaving it in there forever? Also When this 3-6 months passes and If I don't have any luck and have hatchlings, how long...

    egg bins, could they not be fertile?

    should you totally bury the eggs in vermicilite?

    Thanks. They seem to be ok, i havnt checked them in a while, so im going to do that now to make sure they have enough moisture in there, i feel a little more confident now. my next question would be will the eggs change if they are not fertile? and what should i look for?
