Im gana be a daddy!!

So the female is in her own tank now, i should try to get her to eat tomorow right? should i try the f/t mice that i usually feed them? or should i get like hoppers or something a little smaller?
Mine actually preferred large pinky mice ( after they lay) their easier to swallow and digest, she is probably exhausted. I also use a syringe ( no needle) to give them water. Have you held her up to a bowl of water yet? Also do you have a hide for them both? Usually they lay in their hide. I really hope that you choose to house them separately in the future.
BEST of luck!
 
Given that these are his rescue previously-cohabbed creamsickles, I think he's doing a really good job adjusting his husbandry to do what's best for them. Let us know how the eggs do!
 
Regarding incubation, I've successfully hatched a clutch in a homemade incubator constructed as follows...

Get a styrofoam (spelling?) container with top, an aquarium heater, a tupperware container large enough to hold the eggs and some vermiculite, and a brick.

Fill the styrofoam container with a couple of inches of water. Put the aquarium heater down in the water. Put a brick in the bottom of the styrofoam container and set the tupperware container with moistened vermiculite on top of the brick. Punch holes in the top of the tupperware container for air exchange. Lay the top of the styrofoam container on top, but leave it off center about an inch (also for air exchange). You can also make the gap bigger to help regulate the temp. Adjust setting on aquarium heater so that temp in the tupperware container maintains appropriate incubation temp. Make sure condensation from tupperware top is not dripping on eggs.
