I suggest though if your going to raise it build the pen somewhere there are less extreme cold/hot spells, something people lack to say. Many will take the egg off Abberation to hatch it, and head to a mild climate area then throw down 16-24 aircons.

I myself prefer to do it the safe way, and prevent any accidental mishaps, thats why 32 keeps the climate cool/warm enough for the creature.

Make sure your aircons are powered by a generator - not wind turbines - and make sure you've got plenty of gas before starting the hatch. Stay with it till its out of the baby state, then set it up on several troughs, keep it fed, easy for them to starve to death as well as die from too cold/hot.

i want to say 20, i packed 20 into a U shape as tight as i could get and i could still only incubate 1 egg, 2 if i finaggled them just right

wow thats alot :), thanks for that i will try
16 will do, use a smaller room and make a U shape, no need to make it very tight, can place 3 or 4 eggs to incubate

vemon is gotten from harvesting the corpses of the nameless so its best to find a safe enough area in the bioluminecent swamp, turn off your light pet to get the nameless to show up and then turn your light pet back on and slaughter them

Except, rock drakes only eat nameless venom until adulthood. Their food consumption doesn't decrease fast fortunately though.

and nameless venom isnt the easiest thing in the world to get cause sometimes when you harvest the corpse of a nameless you don't get any venom at all
