Foods Fed... Frequency of feeding... Water availability... Soakings... And any other insight you think might be important. Thanks.

How many of a clutch that size hatches out? I had one girl who laid 20 eggs at a time... non of them ever hatched. The other girl would lay 10 to 12 ping-pong ball size eggs... usually 100% hatch rate. She produced more than 70 hatchlings one year.

Hello all i soak my little fella about three times a week,but he soaks himself every day in his water bowl,im very lucky to have access to loads of orgainc wild weeds at home and in work and he eats any and all of these its just the grass i have trouble getting him to eat but were getting there slowly he looks like hes gagging sometimes when he eats it but if its wet he seems not to mind,in the garden he eats it no problem, i also leave cuttlefish bone around and sometimes clean egg shells, im new to leopards so im still nervous, hoping im doing the right thing all the time,hes only very small and he seems to be doing fine so i suppose he will let me know if things go wrong! Im thinking of switching over to a reptiglow 100w instead of a heat lamp and 10.0 UV tube so i can rig up a ceramic heater at night time when the winter comes in..Any advice welcome Steve
