question on bedding for incubation

Sorry.. it's been a long work day, and I'm a little crabby... plus this whole egg thing is so new to me.. I've talked to several local breeders that are friends of mine, but no matter how much reassurance I get, I'm still nervous about messing up.
 
I'd suggest trying to remember that these aren't planned-for, anticipated eggs, but a surprise clutch. You will obviously want these to survive and hatch, but equally you could have just tossed them out in the trash. If they don't survive you will still learn good lessons for any future planned breedings.
 
I'm definitely at least counting on the experience. Realistically, we don't expect much from this clutch. Isis is so tiny that it actually worried me that she laid them, and we're praying that she doesn't double-clutch. I know that's fairly rare, but it's still a real concern to me. She's now separated from the male and it will be a couple years before I actually try to breed her. I love my baby too much to put her at risk again.
