Escaped then saw a female

[meow_mix450]

Hey

Just about 2 days ago, i came home and saw my male on top of my female mating.......He some how got into the female's encloure. I was suprised that they didnt fight or have any bite marks.

This happened all by an accident, and now I got a gravid female, well I think. She is ever so slowly turning brownish, orangish, blackish colour, which is a sign of being gravid. So i have read all the breeding and care of the female all over again and again. I would have perfered her just laying unfertile eggs at first, but what can you do now. I am working on setting up the incubators and a egg laying spot. Starting to feed her a lot more. So i am expecting eggs with in a month. Wish me luck, hope everything turns out. Im probly gonna run into problems and gonna need some help.

Now for questions:
1. How long should mating periods be?Iive read that you should leave them in for a day or so, and not disturb them until the female starts to show agression(sp?) Any idea on this?

2. What temperature has worked for you incubating the eggs??? Im going to make my own.

3. Will the temperature of the incubation decide on the sex. ex; higher temps will most likly be male and lower temps most likly be female, or is this not true?

4. Amount of dusting, do i dust everyday??? Some sheets are telling me different things.

5. Around what time will i be expecting them to hatch, or will i be???

Thanks a alot guys
