My bearded dragon just layed about 20 or more eggs. How wet does the substrate have to be keep, moist or wet?
I have a birth box with vermiculite. After she is done laying the eggs, how wet do I keep the substrate? I am going to put a lid on the box with holes in the top of it. What should the humidity be in the birthing box with the eggs? The temp in the box is about 86, is that ok.
The vermiculite should be damp enough to clump together when squeezed but not so damp as to drip water. 86F is a perfect temp.
if you use a clear egg box (Rubbermaid style) you can easily monitor the humidity. If you see condensation up to 3/4 on the sides it is fine. Excessive humidity will cause condensation on the upper edges and the lid. carefully remove condensation from the lid, you don't want to drop water directly onto the eggs. When done properly this method seldom, if ever requires additional moisture to be added to the box.
Good Luck
