incubator

sweetblood Oct 02, 2006 01:33 PM

I was looking at the Natures Spirit Incubator they suggest 6 quart Sterilite containers but at a hieght of 4 5/8" tall it seems to short to me for a clutch of ball pyhton eggs.
This is six eggs that my girl layed last year and I think they came out to about if I am guessing correctly they were 5-6 inches tall. I have never seperated eggs before and I am not quite sure how to and I am afraid to ruin the eggs.

Are there any suggestions on how to separate the eggs without any harm to them or on another incubator that uses a slightly taller container?

Here's what I used last season, and it was perfect! I placed an oil heater hooked up to a helix thermostat. I then used med. garbage cans to hold the eggs...It was perfect, easy and cheap.

Hope this helps!

dental floss works well but be careful not to turn the eggs.
