    Lay Watch
    So I am gone to work for 10+ hours a day. Seeing as I can't sit at home and wait for my girls to lay, I purchased myself a nice little wifi security cam and have it mounted on a tripod pointing into the tub. It has infrared which is great because it stays sort of dim in my snake room. If anyone cares to watch with me:

    This girl will be on day 26 tomorrow (3-26). She's a normal female bred to a mojave male. She's been looking super super uncomfortable for about 2 days now, so me thinks it'll be anytime.

    Didn't know if anyone would be interested or not...but figured since I have the feed, might as well share! :)

    Hey that's pretty neat!!

    I'm not sure if it's frozen on me though, or if she is just holding very still :P

    I often wondered how to set something like this up, if I ever decide to, I will give you a shout! Good luck with your eggies!

    This is really neat! I planned to do something similar with my egg boxes...but I just might put up a "lay cam" as well!

    I can see a future trend for breeders with the means for such luxuries.

    Thanks guys! I'm glad you all enjoy it. I plan to move it over to the incubator once we've reached that stage to watch for pips. :)

    The camera was < $100 and it works off my home wifi network. I did have to do some messing with the firewall through my ISP to get it to work, but once I figured out what the heck I was doing it wasn't too difficult. It has like 300 degrees pan/tilt and not a bad picture. The infrared is really nice, like I said, for the dim lighting. The camera is meant to be a security camera I think, so all you really need to do is plug it into a wall.

    Unfortunately, really my only complaint is that once my room gets to the sort of dim and sort of light stage, the picture quality goes way down. :( Oh well...better than nothing!!

    Anybody know if snakes can see infrared? I think I'm going to unplug the camera tonight when I go to bed. I'm worried the light is bothering her. If someone can correct me on that though please let me know.

    Hahaha! That's awesome! I'm never around with my camera to catch any of mine yawning.

    Today is day 31 folks...I thought maybe turning off the camera would get her going...thought the infrared light may be bothering her. Still no eggs. :( I hate the waiting game!

    I know right? Its like she chose the angle with the least visibility on purpose. Oh well. At least I get to see something without being in there every 2 seconds bothering her. :)
