eggs

Easter Bunny · 10-04-2014, 03:45 PM

Been very stressed out with these 2 eggs I found.
Firstly the Incubator broke at the beginning so had to keep them warm with a heat mat. The new incubator arrived and broke on me too

The eggs are due to hatch any time now..They have had so much varying temps and humidity I just hope they hatch ok.
They are in another new incubator now

Swell Reptiles were fantastic with the exchange, think the bloke felt sorry for me I was nearly in tears

I'll post pictures when they hatch

Sounds very stressful, Lynne! I'll keep my fingers crossed that all goes well.

Good luck with the eggs Lynne, I would invest in a Hovabator as they are reliable.

id always used a hoverbator till last summer when the weather was hot, had to move the incubator due to work men and didn't realise id put it in the direct afternoon sunlight result lost eggs due to excess heat.

bought the exo terro for the cooling effect but the more I read about exo, herp etc the more im inclined to go back to the hoverbator as my number 1 incubator

got up this morning looked at the eggs..temps have fallen to 19..this cr.p incubator broken too..arghhhh!!!

that's rediculess.

ive read some really bad reviews of these type of incubator (unfortunately after I bought 1) very tempted to go back to using the hoverbator in the spare room with a fan running in the room on warm days, might have to look for a thermostate that will turn the fan on at a certain temp???.

good luck with your eggs hope all this bad luck hasn't ruined them on you.
