How are you incubating the eggs? I would love to know because I am going to breed by boxies next spring.

NICE. My female eastern just laid 4 eggs. I am currenlty incubating them in about 78-79 degrees. The humidity should be 80%. I used most NOT WET vermiculite and buried them a little bit in the vermiculite. I then put some sphagnum moss on top of it (most moss) i left the lid of the container (not the incubator) slitly open and put a dish of water in for humidity. Hope this helps you serpentsam.

Sounds Good.. Just dont go under 80% humidity. It would not hurt for it to be 85% if you wanted to.
