    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Okay, I am still trying to learn about beardies. Is there a reason the eggs have to be incubated? Like mom will eat them or something like that?
If you have a female and male in the same room (but not same tank) will the female lay eggs anyway. I was worried about a female getting egg bound. I have heard stories that a lot of the reptiles get egg bound.
 
Beardeds dig a nest. I provided the females with 8-10 inches of substrate and they would excavate a burrow to the bottom to lay in.
It's very difficult to arrange and maintain the proper incubation climate in the soil, so the eggs are best removed and incubated artificially.

I personally have never had a female that was never bred develop eggs, but it does happen, more frequently with lizards than with snakes.
The most common reason for egg binding is the lack of a suitable nesting site. Normally if an acceptable area is provided, the female will lay just fine.
