I have a thread going rn if u want to watch, she's about to hatch 6 around dec7th Darth babies well the dad's a Darth morph and she's a pied plus I got her also sitting on 2 coturnix eggs that are a week in and alive plus after candling the ones in my incubator 7 are alive , it's all combined...
He's on guard they do that if u leave him some near her hide or semi near he will either rest with her or near her on guard in the fake nest not always though
I use this when they are broody and she builds a giant nest to help keep them warm and roll the eggs around to hatch, you can even leave 2-3 handfuls near her hide and she will come out and take it back to the nest in some cases the guy helps
