How to Prepare Bearded Dragon Eggs for Incubation

[@kaitlyncastaneda8668]

What kind of containers are those called?

[@TyeDyedIguana]

They're deli cups. They come in various diameters and just need holes drilled for ventilation.

Omfg that is too funny this is my first clutch ever and i did a bunch of research and combined a few and this is exactly what I did i like these containers because. With the holes u can ad the moisture to the incubator not the actual container and it will suck up what it needs ugh !!! So cool that is what u guys are doing my fear is what's next when they first pop out what I'm supposed to do i know I've heard not to take them out right away because the movement will wake the others now i can kinda get it but my thoughts is in the wild they wouldn't be confined min which case would not be chilling walking all about on top of the eggs

As our animal care team is limited by their hours, we remove babies from the cups when we check the incubator once a day. We have not had any issues removing the babies from the unhatched eggs and the ones that are meant to hatch, do so just fine. There may be a straggler or two if it turns out one of the babies is weak or potentially has a health issue. If those eggs hasn't hatched in a couple of days after the rest have done so, we'll carefully cut the eggs open to either assist the baby or check to see if it's still viable.

My adopted Beardie just laid eggs!!! I’m trying to find if they are fertile or not!!

[@TyeDyedIguana]

Candling is the best way to determine viability early on. If you're not sure if she's had exposure to a male, use a bright flashlight and shine it up through the bottom of the eggs. You may need to turn them slightly to find a red "donut" of veins in the egg. If they're yellow the whole way through or are off color and lumpy, they're probably not good.
