I work at a local pet store. I have plans to attempt my first breeding this year, but I THOUGHT I had until October to be 100% ready so I could have the perfect set up for my snakes, eggs, etc. well my manager just called me and said a customer had a ball python lay eggs and he doesn't want them and I am the only one at the store with an incubator. AH! I got this incubator from a friend who used it to incubate her tortoise eggs but I wanted to get a hotbox incubator for when my kids laid their clutches. So I haven't even put a ton of thought into setting up an incubator for a clutch because I thought I had a year! So, I need advice! How do I go about transporting these eggs safely and setting them up in this styrofoam incubator? Also, where can I get a temporary tstat for it that will work? We have those Zilla ones at my store but I know the Zilla gauges don't work at all so their tstats make me nervous to even think about using.
Any help is greatly appreciative, but please only give constructive assistance, thank you!!
