 What 2 do with eggs?

My bearded dragon laid 22 eggs i put them in soil in an incubator. Should i just keep them on a heat mat or should i use a heat mat and basking lamp to keep them warm? Also what does it mean if the eggs are dippled but are still heavy? please email asap thanks

You need to be using perlite or vermiculite as a substrate for them, soil won’t work, it doesn’t hold or distribute the moisture correctly. You also need a real incubator, I personally recomend still air hovabators (chicken incubator) about $40 but if you can’t get one then do a google and there are plenty of plans to make them some are just more of a pain then others. If they’re dimpled it means that they are too dry, if they have droplets on them they are too wet. Aim for 83.5 for the temp, you’ve got a couple degrees in either direction that way.
