Incubation method.

[little_dragon_]

My female albino het just laid her second clutch. I'm trying a new method of incubation..last year I did the aqaurium set up but this year I'm incubating the eggs inside an end table below a tank with a large heat pad. One side of the cupboard is 78 degrees and the other side is 85. I have filled an inch of water in the bottom of a tupperware container. The eggs are in a fitted deli cup with tiny holes on the side and a few on the top, and placed inside the container floating on the water.The substrate is vermiculite..the tupperware is seal for 100 percent humidity. Has anyone tried this method before?

Sounds awfully complicated, but then maybe I'm just not visualizing it quite right.

If you have the eggs in a delicup with moist vermiculite, you don't need to float the whole shebang in water. There'll be enough humidity in the cup. That helps keep the humidity in the table down, less chance of damaging it.

you should use a simple box well insulated with the "aquarium" setup.
if it's well insulated, you should achive good result.

just look in the incubator/breading section, Dual Temp incubator.
I now achieve 0.7F accuracy for a couple of days.
79.8-80.5
I have some probleme with the high temp side... 86.5-88.5 , 2F
sound enorme for me... lol

what is the max it could get without cooking the eggs?
it was 89-91.5 at first, I droped it a little in case...
