Hey guys, yet another question about egg incubation, since I'm experimenting with various styles of home-made incubator at the moment. Do the eggs need light to hatch, or is it just warmth and humidity? Does the light matter?

Thanks :)

I would assume that in the wild they would be buried surely? So no light there!

No, they don't need light to hatch. Did Luna lay? You said that you thought she was?

Naw, she made a beautiful nest, snuggled down in it, then decided nope, just teasing. She is looking very chunky in her tail end and is certainly more restless than normal, so hopefully soon lol.
