My female veiled is gravid and should be depositing her fertile eggs in about a week or more. I have a lot of research on the incubation once she lays them. I went out and got a Hova-bator today. I am R-E-A-D-Y!
I realized I haven't spent as much time on researching the best soil for her to lay her eggs in and I want to make sure I have everything in order for the big day.
I now have her secluded in a fairly small octogon "aquarium" (about 20 gallons) that resembles the recommended trash can shape. I have added approximately 7-8 inches of organic potting soil with a little bit of vermeculite mixed in. It is pretty moist. Of course I have a few plants with sticks to crawl up. It just seems kind of confined, but I've always read they need to be confined when they are gravid. Would you consider this a decent egg laying chamber? As well as the proper soil for the egg laying?
Any help or suggestions would be awesome. I only want the best for my pretty "princess!" THANKS IN ADVANCE.
