The Egg Webcam

I have been forced to go out of town on the weekend that my snake are supposed to hatch. So I have set up a webcam on them so I can check on them over the weekend. Today is day 52 for the eggs.
I thought I might let everyone else know. Check it out and let me know if I need to change anything because I am leaving tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks
Trey

nice i will keep an eye on them for you. may i ask how you were able to set this up?

I got a webcam from Best Buy and created an account www.earthcam.com

Just follow the directions. Very easy to do.
Thanks
Trey

LOL thanks but i was talking about inside the incubator and be able to see the eggs so clearly?

LOL Sorry! It is a styrofoam fish shipping container with a whole in the top with a piece of glass glued to it. Then it is a 15QT tub with hatchrite, a glass top, and some vasaline to sill the edges. The whole thing is heated with two pieces of 3" flexwatt. The tub is about 4" above the floor of the incubator, it is held up with metal rods.

Thanks
Trey

Way cool, got to love technology!

Marc

It's not a webcam...it's a wEGGcam! =D

Ohh oh,


I love these things.:carrot: :carrot: :carrot:

Egg cam's should be compulsory.:rockon:



dr del

Very cool, is this a wireless webcam or one that has a cord running to the computer?

It has a wire. Just plugs in with a USB cord. I wish something would happen!!!

Thanks

Haha It been on my computer ever sense I found the link. I told my grandma about it so now she is watching it too

A corn breeder I know does that, its really really cool. I want to do that someday.:D May I ask what is going to hatch? Fireballs?

Wow amazing. I am going to favorite and keep it open :D, How long will you be out of town?

took a look at his site and they are 100% het albino male X Normal female...so we are looking at 7 poss het albinos. " two hands" LOL check out that video LOL

Only "two hands"!!!!:D

Thanks Everyone for Checking it out. It is driving me crazy having to wait.

I will be back on Tuesday night. But I will keep the cam running until they all hatch out.

I wish they where Fire Balls! They will be 50% Het Albino. Fire Ball is just a nick name my dad give me when I was younger. I was a red head.

Thanks
Trey

Thats cool. I can't wait to see who posts on here first that they seea pip.

Someone keeps moving the camera *grabs barf bag*....heheh

The eggs ok to be stacked like that?

yep when the eggs get stuck together its not safe to pull them apart and all is ok

I just put a tub with some water in it so that way if the snakes hatch out they will have access to water.

Sorry about moving the camera. I also wiped the water off of the glass.

The eggs were in a stack from day 1. That is how the mother had them arranged.

Thanks
Trey

Is this now showing a black screen for anyone else, or does my computer just not like me today?

got a black screen as well, so not just you.

Hi,


Black screen for me also but I just assumed it was downtime as it is only on for 12 hours per day (10am to 10pm his local time).

You think if they pip while the camera is off anyone will forgive him? :giggle:


dr del

The lights are off. At the bottom of your screen it says the lights will be on from 10 am to 10 pm.

sure we will...*gets noose ready* http://otug.net/forums/Smileys/default/lolhit.gif

The camera is still on, the light is just out. I am Sorry. The incubator is in the same room with my other snakes and rats. I didn't want to stress them out.
Sorry and Thanks
Trey

darn... I got home at 10:05 tonight and I still had the window up since I left but it was black..

good enough reason to turn the light out though... I'll forgive you

Oh it's okay!!! Better to not stress anyone out - I just didn't see the note about the times!

That is cool cant wait to see them hatch, Hopefully I will see them poping out of the egg.

i could be wrong but top left looks to be pipping.

Quick,


Someone make him wipe the condensation off the glass.:D


dr del

I wish I could but I am 6 hours away!!!

Sorry
Trey

Nuts,:)


I think it's just a shadow rather than pipping as it isn't changing.

These things are facinating to watch for me.


dr del

point there derek , but if you look at the opposite egg ( same bit but reversed , if ya follow ! ) you can see a shadow there ...its on left side , indicating light source is from the right hand side , maybe ! lol

tell ya what , if I do this I'm gonna get me glass with a wiper blade installed !!!

I watched some GTP hatch on a webcam a while back , this has the same potential , nice one Trey

is the webcam recording or just streaming? Would be cool to post the hatching process when it happens...you know for those who miss it

Del 1 Rt 0 ...

'twas a shadow after all !!! rats me thought it was a pipping , ah well ..the wait continues.

Hi thats cool... I have used the same on some corn snake eggs for 2 months ago.. I will give you a tip... put the cam on the glass then the heat from the cam will remove the "fug" on the glass and you will see the eggs clear..


I have set the same up as U...

I didn't notice those before.. hmmm

I've been checking this thing like every 20 minutes all day. I wanna see something happen.

OH I do I do!



Is it dimpling starting or something more eggciting do you think?

Humidity is obviously still fine.:D


dr del

What do you bet that the light turns off right when something starts to happen.

noooo!!! the lights aren't allowed to turn off if something starts happening :P

I've never seen a snake egg hatch or anything, so i have no idea.... hopefully we'll se some babies soon!!!

Hi,


Well I think we have about 2 hours till lights out.

What say we make sure the next person who does this has to find a way of keeping the lights on 24/7?


dr del

Ya they should just put a dark sheet over the other racks/cages and leave the lights on or maybe just change to a red light at night.

No matter how many times I look at this...I ALWAYS seem to forget about the light being turned off at 10.

sigh

Hope nothing happens when we can't see :(

Hahaha! Me too!!! Watch them all have hatched before I wake up tomorrow afternoon :( (I've been on afternoon shifts recently so I've been sleeping super late! lol)

well, i got fired from my job today for spending too much time waiting for thr eggs to hatch...lol...just kidding...how interesting it will be if we can catch it happening!
