Incubating my tic eggs?

Rearfanged1 Sep 21, 2012 09:58 PM

my tics are already locking up so, i'm currently converting a fridge into an incubator and was looking for advice on the best substrate to use, best methods of heat, ventilation ect. Any help would be fantastic thanks ahead of time!

vermiculite/perilite mixture for incubation substrate (medium), flexwatt heating tape in the incubator (old fridges are excellent)

32qt tubs work great with a couple 5/8 drilled holes. heat at 89 degrees and 75-85% humidity
