After Seeing a digging display I figured out my female had layed an egg. I dug up one egg....can they only lay one egg can they deposite them in more than one spot. I looked forever where I found the first one but it is alone..please let me know if I should keep looking.

Thanks

they can have 1 egg.
I had a leopard that always had 1 egg.
if it is her first egg then you might get 2 eggs next time.
but it is possible you only get one egg each time.

Thanks Nicole hopefully that was the only one I would be sad to find I neglected another, but I just couldn't find anything else. I'm glad to hear they can only lay one. Im very excited and I hope I do good with this egg.
thanks for your help

You really do have to go through the substrate very carefully... I've sifted through the substrate prior to cleaning a tank, only to find later I've dumped eggs into the garbage having somehow missed them. Pictus almost always lay in pairs.

Well Ill give it another run through just to be sure. I dont wanna miss anything

After some rest she layed the second egg in a different place. Im glad I saw her do it or I would have never known. Hopefully the eggs are both good but only time will tell. Thanks for your help guys ill keep you posted on it.....and the eggs are incubating at 83 degrees right now with about 79% humidity feel free to let me know if what temp and humidity works best for you
thanks

That should be fine... I incubate mine at 85F, but either temp is likely in the ideal range for Pictus. Currently have 3 juvie males, 2 3 week olds, and 1 1 week old. And about 7 eggs cooking. Pictus are prolific.

If anyone needs male pictus, PM me. !!
