Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Questions on incubation.
Hey all it's been a long time since I've posted last. I now have eggs in my incubator  . I was wondering a few questions. Approximately how often do leo's lay their clutches? I was also wondering on perlite. I weighed it out and used .8 water to 1 perlite. I dont havent noticed any dew build up is this normal? much thanks. Chris.

Chris,
That is the same method I use. Bt I do check the moisture level weekly by feeling the perlite and spraying as needed. It is something you'll learn to do with your eyes closed.
I had one female lay every ten days. Others it can be 3 weeks in between laying. Each female is different.
Good luck

i have one female that lays every 15 days..one that lays every 20 days..one that lays every 19 days..it can vary between females, it usually takes the same amount of time as it did for the fmale to lay the first clutch, from when they are bred, to the day they lay, at least thats how my females did it for 2 years..
if your using the .8 parts water by 1 part perlite method you should have a problem with moisture of humididty, i havent had to re moisten the container all the eggs are in since the first eggs came on 1/7, those eggs should hatch in 5 days, i have seen the baby actually shift in the egg when candleing so obviously the egg is healthy.

Just a follow up question, I know its shameful even to ask a dumb question....but, I know i read it somewhere just cant remember where.... but once a female has bred, will that be good enough for the entire season?
I am new and learning, not to mention i have a lot of reptile projects going...  so Ive just been trying to keep up with cleaning and feeding, I forgot this goofy question.

it really depends on the female, if she is a first time breeder, she may lay only 1 -3 clutches, if she is on her 2nd-3rd season and well over about..75 grams it is very possible for her to go whole season.

It is possible, as they store sperm. So the male is only needed once. Then he is kinda useless...hahaha
If you do notice that she stops laying re-introduce her!
