Sunday a friend and I where here in Florida(Miami) and we were in a secret location looking for iguanas to take pics of and have fun catching...well...........my buddy saw a hole in the sand and then another and another and a couple females hanging around the trees and such so we put two and two together. We dug up a hole and found 4 feet below the surface and about 3 feet straight to the side 9 iguana eggs were found. Rather lage so probably from the spiney tail iguanas that we also saw. Thne we dug up another of the 50 odd holes and dug up smaller eggs, about 41 of them! By the end of the day we now had 178 iguana eggs~!!!!!! We took them home to incubate them and set them up. I have never incubated iguana eggs, but have ball python, retic, bearded, and lots of more eggs. So was wondering how do you guys incubate them? What temps and humidity(100% i am figuring. Also should we leave them in the sand we found them in or incubate them on perlite or potting soil? Let me know, Thanks Mike
