Kelly And Tom,

First I want to thank you both for taking your time to respond to my post. Your answears where very helpfull.

What I use is a small fridge(48" tall) converted into a incubator.

I have a 40 watt heatmat taped to the back with 1 Computerfan situated 1,5" inche bellow the roof on the back wall 1,5" above the heatmat. Iv used the large mat to have it go from bottom to top to uniformly heat the unit.

The probe is placed on the mid level of the fridge.

Both clucthes of eggs where from carpet pythons.
One clucth was 9 smaller eggs the other was 10 1 slug normal sized carpet eggs.

The incubation boxes are about 1G and 2.5G and is what Iv used before with good resulst. Only change is that these have a rubberlip sealing the box, the previous boxes did not have that seal. Maybe that answeard my own question with regards to why I have a humidity buildup larger than before..

This is the larger one, love it:

(sad thing is the storage of this modell burnt down, so impossible to find now)

I did not candle the eggs as Iv just been swamped with school and exam preps. Im realy in grief about that now.
So I do not know if there was any veins or live embryo in theme previously.
Both clucthes started to go bad around day 15.

Iv bougth some larger 4 gallon boxes Ill use for the next clucthes I have comming. witch from the looks of the females has to be in the 35 range.

With these boxes Ill pop a list of plexi into one side and situate a sheet of glass so its tilted. making the water run of into the side.

Kelly, is super saturation of the box air a bad thing if it is impossible for water to drip on the eggs?


Iv candled the remaining eggs and they are viable and there is a dark area I presume is the embryo.

Il open the bad eggs up tomorrow to see what is in theme.

Thanks again.

Bård
