My cat unplugged my incubator!

Why is your cat allowed near your incubator?

Regards,

B

Well she's very mischievous on a good day it's just her nature. I need to be better about keeping the reptile room closed. They are on day 32 and are the prettiest clutch I've ever seen so I hope it all stays good and I have no issues. This is only my second clutch so I'm still a little nervous.

Low is better than high, plug it back in. Do you have water bottles slowing the heat drop?

You obviously do not have cats...

I think you will be just fine. I doubt 8 degrees for a few hours would be a big deal.

yet another reason i don't own a cat. I don't need to - everyone in the neighborhood seems to have one that they let roam freely outdoors and they love to use my bushes for a toilet. so not a big fan of cats.

I've read far too many horror stories on here regarding cats..and a couple regarding incubation mishaps...

I had this happen about 15 years ago. I had one of the first clutches of captive bred Mali Uros 5 days from due date and my BOBCAT jumped up on the incubator and hit the wingnut. Came home from work and they were at a toasty 112 degrees :rage: All died and all had color when cut :mad:

That sucks !

Our cats have already been warned. It would be very easy to convert them from beloved family pet to snake dinner. ;)

man i have seen pet bobcats...i can't imagine. Such beautiful animals...i just can't imagine what a 30 pound cat using a litter box would smell like ;)

We have wild ones EVERYWHERE around here.....stunning animals

:hijackd:
Servals, serval hybrids (Savannah cat), and caricals are kept too. In GA, they require a permit for conservation, or demonstration/education; but in other states, they are kept as "pets".
