so before this I was being told to follow Frank Payne his recommendations are to bring the temperatures in the 90's. However once she was in the 90's for a basking spot she was extremely dark and it was very concerning; which is why I did all this digging. Now that I have lowered her into the low eightys for a basking spot and set her basking on a 1 hour timer in the morning and a 1 hour timer in the evening for her heat lamp. She is absolutely stunning just after a 12 hours adjustment period. She is no longer turning black when I come near, now she is just protecting her babies. I even seen the first bits of bright orange today. I have never seen those colors in her. Again these are just my observations and where I recieved my information. Thanks for hanging in there with me guys.
Yes I think I'm gonna use hatchrite in a plastic container. I'm still researching most effective humidity levels for a successful hatch. Also I feed and water before she wakes up and I peek in on her long enough to do a fogger water change and to see if she has dropped in size(maybe a minute I'm bugging her a day) other than that she is all by her little lonesome.
I have seen that method as well. What's your ratios? And what do you hold you humidity at and for what species? If you don't mind me asking.
That's awesome. Thats lots of animals... I could wing it... but I'd rather not hehe. Hats off to you though!
