What happens if.....

philg Jul 30, 2003 05:00 PM

My female lays eggs, and I don't have an incubator??? As of now, 1 is gravid, and I will be tranferring the eggs to my freinds incubator, but what if I can't get them there right away?? Is there anything I can do in the meantime?

Get a ten gallon tank fill 1/3rd with water put a 100 watt heater in it then make a tray of some sort. The tray "platform" can hold the container with eggs the get a digital thermeter and glass to cover the top and you got a DIY incubator

Just make sure they are moist and warm. Put the eggs in a small tuperware container in a bed of moist vermiculite. Then, put the container in a warm spot in the house. Make sure the container isn't in the direct sun. You want to aim for a constant 80 degrees or so but as long as they don't get too warm or too cold before you can get them in the incubator, they should be fine. Just don't wait more than about 2-3 days before you get them to your friend. Their viability will probably decline dramatically from not being kept at the proper temperature.

Put them in the enclosure your leos are kept in. Find a spot that is not directly in the heat and about 82 degrees and you could incubate them right there if you wanted to.
