Substrateless Incubation for BPs

[Hock3ymonk3y]

Hey,

Could someone please explain to me, or give a link that explains, how to use the substrateless incubation method for ball pythons?

thanks,

Here is how we had to do it and it seems to work fine. They are due to hatch on friday.
It's maybe 0,5 cm water in the eggbox.

I use bins with a simple light diffuser panel (bought at Home Depot) cut to fit laid in the bottom and put a little water in the bottom of the tub. 12 clutches this year and with 3 down no issues other than the normal roll out failed egg.

I use this method, but I put a layer of moist vermiculite on the bottom and put the egg crate on top of that. Then put the eggs on the egg crate. I did it this way mostly so the water wouldn't slosh around.

This is what I do and what has been working for me.

You will need

6 quart tub (can be found at walmart, target etc)
Eggcrate (can be found at lowes or homedepot)
Vermiculite or perlite (can be found at your local feed store)
and water

I put 3 cups of vermiculite in a 6 quart tub, I add 1 and a half cup of water, I mix everything up, I then place a piece of eggcrate (cut to the dimension of my 6 quart tub) on the top of the substrate, place the eggs on the eggcrate and close the lid (I do not use any glad press & seal, I just use the lead)



Remember to have your incubator up and running at least a week or two before the eggs are laid.
