Congrats on the new ones. I see that you used moss for one incubation medium and perlite for the other. Which one in your experience worked out best? What kind of incubator did you use?

The reason I used the moss for the one clutch is about 5 eggs were in a group and I wanted the top ones to keep there moisture,they are on top of pearlite under the moss,THANKS JIM

I used a styrofoam fish shipping crate I got from local pet store.A 5ft heat cable without thermostat pluged into my thermostat on my rack system set at 82 at night i slide the top back a couple inchs to let the temp drop to about 78.Smaall rack on bottom under the rack a bowl of water.Real cheap and worked great.P-RAT
