yesterday one of my 2 female beardies layed her first clutch of eggs . 16 perfect clean white eggs . they all look to be perfect and fertile and i have them in the incubator as we speak . my incubator is set at 88 degrees , is this a correct temp ?
we are sold out of books on beardies at work till next week and i cant find what temp to bake them at . as soon as the dam books come in next week i'm buying one , i just thought i already had one here .
thanks for the help .

I just looked in my book and it says 82 to 85. Above 89 will kill them but they can withstand temp below 75 for short period of time. This info is in the DEarded Dragon Manual. Hope it helps.

As previously mentioned 80 to 85.
At 83 they hatch at right around 2 and a half months or so.If the temps do spike to 90 (wich ish happens),just expect a few pissy hatchlings.
We incubated some at 80 this year and they hatched around a little over 3 months give or take.
Congrats and expect ALOT more man!

thanks yall . i'll get some pics up in the next day or so .
jeremy , i'm hoping for a lot more . my other female is due in about a week or two , and hopefully they will both throw one or two more clutches .
we can barely keep up with the demand for beardies at work . in the last 3 weeks , we have gotten in over 50 beardie babies and we only have about 8 left . i imagine they will be gone by the end of the weekend . what i can produce with 2 females is barely going to be a drop in the bucket compared to what we sell at the shop , lol .

yup , i wholesale them to the shop . i dont make as much as i could selling them myself , but , i dont have to pay to maintain them till i sell them either . to me , that is good enough for me .
