How do you house your hatchlings?

laurarfl Jul 31, 2008 07:26 AM

Looking to improve my set-ups and was hoping to learn from others who breed.

I'm interested in finding out how breeders house their healthy hatchlings from incubator to sale.

when i was breeding dragons i had a dragon room. i tranformed the closet to my baby station. i put up shelves in it. for the baby bins i used large rubbermaid tubs. above the bins i had UVB fixtures running the entire length of the closet to cover every baby bin. i also used the bar that was in the closet *one to hang hangers on* to mount the light fixtures for the heat lamps. just your normal dome light fixture.

i put 6-8 babies per bin. every week id go in and sort them by size and move bigger ones in together and the smaller ones together.
