My veiled Cham is close to laying eggs, any suggestions for incubation ? Can I use coconut fiber ?
Eggs

I've always used the coarse vermiculite moistened just enough that when you squeeze a handful of it you can only squeeze a drop or two of water out of it. I fill shoebox sized Tupperware type containers about half full with it. I place the eggs in rows in dents that I make with my thumb on top of the vermiculite. The container is then placed where the temperature is about 74F inside the container making sure the place is dark. I also make sure that the container is not close to any electrical field.

How do you maintain that ? Do you just leave them for 6 months or are you occasionally putting water
I check the eggs every week or so for moisture but don't leave the lid off the container too long. You'll dry it out. There should be beads of moisture on the walls of the container andlikelynon the underside of the lid too. If the substrate is dry add a little bit of water around the edges of the container...never on the eggs.

She just laid, she’s almost sitting on them and I’m afraid to move her
For future reference...don't let her see you watching her when she's digging @Lizardking303523 .
Hopefully by now she has filled in the hole and tamped it down and returned to the branches thinner and hungry and tired and you have dug up the eggs.
