43 Panther eggs!!!

[Raphael1047]

My female cham Lodi just layed another clutch! This clutch is huge at 43 eggs although i wish it was smaller i am kind of excited. My question is what temperature should i keep her at and what light wattage to lower her size of her clutch sizes? Also how much to feed her? I have been feeding her less since the last clutch and lowered the wattage already, but still not working as you can tell. Any suggestions are really appreciated! Thank you.

Congrats on the eggs. 43 is a large clutch. I kept my panther girls the same as my veileds. I feed 3 days a weeks 6 feeders or so depending on the size and I keep the basking temps in the low 80's.

Thank you. And i agree with that it is a large clutch, my basking temps are already low 80's and feed her every other day 3 dubias. Should i decrease the temp more?

 

[jannb]

Temps should be find. Maybe feed less except for right after she has a clutch. What size dubia? Dubia are very meaty. If large only two. I feed my adults 3 times a week.

The dubia size is about small to medium, i also add others things like worms into the mix. I will start feeding her less in a few days then. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks, i already had a clutch about two months ago, 38 eggs! Think if they all hatch at the same time i would have almost 80 baby crawling around If that does happen i might need some HELP!!!

They look very white, so I would guess they are fertile, but I'm not experienced with eggs, so It's just a guess

Form what i read they stay white for at least a week if they are infertile, i hope they are fertile. i will keep you guys updated!
