Waiting on a Incubator

[JoshuaTrana]

So I realized yesterday that my female has eggs in her and I didnt have a incubator so i ordered on, but it wont be here til at least tomorrow. What can I do temporarily until the incubator if she lays her eggs before it gets here.

I would just leave them in the lay box but would make sure they are not touching the bottom of the box and make it so she wont get in there so she dosnt disturbe the eggs. Keep it on the warm side and give her another humid hide for now. I have some that will dig for up to a day after laying and wounder how many time they would dig the the eggs up if I didnt take it. Tho the embryo dosnt attach for 24 hrs Ive read, just dont want to chance it. Thats what I would do, Hope this helps

My suggestion is get the incubation container ready and place it, closed, inside her enclosure. Then when the eggs are laid, get them out of the lay box and into the incubation container. That way, the female cant dig them up or turn them because she can't get to them.

When your incubator gets there, you should then have a couple days to get it up to temp and steady. Then you can move the container over to the incubator.

This is exactly what we did.
Our laid eggs before our incubator arrived (they were on backorder), so we threw some hatchrite (because the supplies reached us before the incubator did) into a gladware container, placed the eggs inside, put the lid on, and wedged the container between their warm hide and the side of their cage, so no one could flip it around.
Oh!
We found the "bullseye" in them and marked them.
The eggs still look good.
