My females just laid her second clutch with 20 eggs and 32 in her first clutch just before Xmas - I think numbers is dependent on the female as I've had as few as 10 up to 40 before now.

Last year I incubated at 84 but they took longer to hatch and for some reason I got all males didn't think incubation temps affected bearded genders like it did with Leo's and things. This time I'm doing 89.4 hoping for a shorter incubation time and a wider variety of genders. Her first clutch have only had 3 good eggs in them, more to do with the fact that she made them whilst brumating so took no food for several wks and I was of a mind not to set them at all, this second clutch look a lot better with only a couple of yellow duds in there at this stage.

Good luck with yours and keep your girlie well fed it takes a lot out of them this egg making lark lol.

The average temps for bearded is 84 but as long as they don't exceed the 80's they're ok.

Due to the 90 day plus single gender incubation period last season at 84 I decided to see how things work out at the higher end of the spectrum. I really didn't expect anything to come good from her first clutch due to her being in brumation whilst developing them ergo malnutrition would be a factor for the female let alone the egg contents.
