Q:she layed them on top of the sand in the cage is that where they should stay? what should the temp be? should i spray the sand with water? another thing the eggs are collapsing or sucking in but i shined a flashlight through them and there is what apperes to be veins in them, does that mean they are viable?

The female bullsnake lays 12 to 18 eggs in one mating season. After the eggs have been layed the female leaves the eggs to hatch and raise themselves. After 9 to 11 weeks the eggs will hatch and go out to find food on their own. The babies are born about 12 to 18 inches long upon their hatching.

Q:Since fertilizer shouldn‘t be given early, I suppose Miracle Grow Potting Mix is out also, am I correct? I know there are seed starting mixes out there. I also have peatmoss, vermiculite and perlite here at home.

L type is the kind used in houses m is kind used in small applications like in air conditioners and other appliances

Q:Ok I‘ve had my dragon for a year now and decided I wanted a mate for him, it‘s about time and I‘m ready for another one, they are so great huh hehe?! Ok so anyway I‘m starting to worry alot and might not get it cause I‘m afraid of the female laying eggs, people make it sound so hard and scary. What would I do with the eggs, would I let her lay them in dirt or take her out, do I leave the eggs where she lays them, will they hatch that way, oh my so many questions. I don‘t want to read it all from a site cause those people make it sounds hard and crazy to do, so have any of you guys hatched any eggs?

VERY brief summary: When the female is ready to lay, put a lay box in for her (I use a smaller rubbermaid tub filled with sterile soil) and she should lay her eggs in there. From there, the eggs need to be moved into an incubation container filled with moistened vermiculite or perlite, being careful to NOT turn the eggs whatsoever from the position they are laid in. Cover the container, and transfer to an incubator. Some things to keep in mindfemale dragons, once bred, will lay several clutches of eggs in a season, often consisting of 20 or more eggs per clutch. Even if you only incubate one clutch, Beardies are NOT always easy to find homes for, as wonderful as they are. Babies must be kept in small groups to avoid tail nips and bullying, which means several enclosures all set up with proper heating and UV lighting. One clutch of babies will go through a couple thousand 1/8 crickets a week when properly fed. Babies cannot eat mealworms. Also, breeding and laying can be very hard on the female's body, depleting her calcium and fat stores. Retained eggs and clocal prolapse is always a concern. Breeding can be a wonderful experience, but it can also be a heartbreaking and expensive one, especially if you encounter problems.

Q:Hydroponically speaking, what are the easiest vegetables to grow in perlite and vermiculite?

it sounds like a type of insulation i don't know if it's asbestos or not but if it a newer home i doubt it is there may be mold inside you walls also call your local building inspector have him look at it

Q:Household plants and such, not grass.

i have no idea what home oxygen is, but ANY additional amount of gaseous oxygen near a burning process will speed it up. faster burning means bigger and most importantly HOTTER flames, since more energy is set free in the same amount of time. the more oxygen the bigger the effect.

Q:I‘m looking for a good medium that includes everything (peat moss, sand, vermiculite, etc.) And that can be used as a substitute for potting soil. If anyone could also find a link to a website page containing the pre-mixed medium, that would be awsome.

with a solid amp and the right box, most likely. I can set them off with my 10W7 P

Q:i am adding perlite and vermiculite to my garden soil. i am just curious if this stuff would disaolve or lose its effectiveness if i added it at the end of the growing season when you till up all your plants. i want everything ready to go for next year, but not if my perlite and such are going to lose their properties by being in the ground for so long. any thoughts?

I prefer adding soil amendments that have an organic content, like leaves, straw, compost, newspapers, lawn clippings, etc Perlite seems like an expensive soil additive. I didn't know you could still buy vermiculite, I thought it was mostly banned now because it has asbestos in it?? Well, maybe it's available where you live. Both perlite and vermiculite are/were used in potting soil, where the soil goes through regular cycles of being watered and then drying out. I suspect, though, that when they're in your garden, they're going to fill up with water, and then stay that way. Organic material does the same thing, costs less, and provides nutrition, too. For those reasons, I wouldn't use either perlite or vermiculite in my garden soil. Get some leaves, compost, manure, straw, newspapers, etc., and rototill them in now if you still can, and your garden will be fine by spring.

Q:I have four rooted cuttings of Plumeria. They were all in a pot with Miracle grow soil on the bottom, and Vermiculite for the rest. All four were in one pot until they rooted. Well, they did and they were doing great, and then I put them in seperate pots, and the medium I used was a mixture of sand, perlite, vermiculite, and Miracle Grow soil. They aren‘t doing so well anymore and it has been two weeks. They aren‘t dying, they just quit growing. Should I put them back into the same kind of medium they were in to begin with? Or should I just leave them alone, as I am afraid to keep re-planting them.

Let them be. They're probably just in shock from the transplant, and will resume growing when they're ready. So long as they're not dying, I wouldn't worry.

Q:Wanting to know everything to buy and if any 1 has some incubators for sale ill buy 1 using my PayPal let me know

Incubator, males and females, plastic container with spagnum moss in it, vermiculite, a cup

Q:I have vermiculite and perlite could i combine either of those with the soil?Think its only added to retain moisture, therefore vermiculte 50% with soil 50% what do you think?Does that mean i won't have the moss look? (algae instead)can i get moss that grows rocks at the local pond/fountain? is that the same moss?

You really need to do nothing. Just don't disturb the material any further. The pricing is a little high in price, but could be in line depending on where you live. You can tell your wife, the mold was a bigger risk than any asbestos exposure. The mold can impact you immediately where any asbestos exposure takes 10-40 years. She is more likely to get hit by lightning than this exposure causing any problem.
