pygmy eggs

[felix]

when a female pygmy lays eggs, can you leave the eggs in the terrarium?



thanks

Yes you can.

Also what species are the easiest species to keep and breed? i thought the bearded pygmy is but i wasn't sure

 

[lisa h]

I've only ever kept the beardeds, as they are the most common. There are other members that have kept different species. Can others chime in?

you can leave eggs in vivarium, but keep track of incubation or you may find babies make a tasty snack for mum and dad.

True. My momma pygmy killed one of her little ones.

Take the eggs out. It's a lot easier to take care of them and watch them as they grow. If any mold you will know right away and it wont affect the others.

Thanks

So would i just dig out the eggs ,carefully, and put em in the incubator at the top of the substrate. Also what sized tank for 1.4 would a 20 gallon do?

thanks

Pygmies are already tiny I can only imagine how small their offspring would be...
