ive got my incubator togeather now.. it consists of a styrofoam bod. 100 watt submersable aquarium heater and a digital thermometer.. weve had it put togeather for about 30-45 minutes now and the temperature is at 75 degrees farenheit.. soo far soo good..

what is the perfect temperature for the eggs to be at?

[SnakeyeZ]

depends on the species of egg thats in there. I had my beardie egg's at 83 degrees and it took 53 days.

[Shmike]

what do you mean by species.. like arent all bearded dragons relatively alike.. egg wise

can adjust temps for different sexes to i think i know you can with snakes and geckos. i have seen tonnes of this info on the web while i was just surfing around for beardie info, im sure you will find alot of info and exact details with yahoo, or altavista, give it a try.

They are infact closely related, same species, just a few different sub speicies.
