I do not measure
I fill a container with water and dump a bunch in. I wait 5 minutes. Then a grab handfuls and squeeze them really good and put it in. I'm really simple. It hasn't let me down yet.

LOL the KISS method. I guess it works for most animals.
That yellow/white/black one looked REALLY nice!

Yep, I've been doing it the same way for 16 years. I use a half and half mixture of pearlite and vermiculite. I mist the container with the eggs 2-3 times a week to keep it moist.
Didnt know that metod
I havent said anything yet to you guys but...my female rescued leo a few weeks ago I was cheking her and I see this yellowish shadows on her belly, my first thoughs is that she was ovulating
I never though her being ready to breed anytime soon, all I wanted is for her to be healty but then I realized I may have a chance So put her a few times with my hypo carrot tail male, she refuses he´s aproaches, untill then one day she acepts him, total they mated 5 times untill she was no longer receptive. Now Im waiting. Egg laying chamber is in place, incubator just have to put it together and the yellowish forms on her belly are much bigger
Fingers crossed
