:banana:

Beautiful!!! I'm stoked for you!!! :taz: :clap: :w00t:

"rattling snake magic charm".......emitting fertility and prosperity and good fortune chants........post pics when they start hatching!!!

That's so awesome! What did you have for her to lay in? What do you have for an incubator? Looking forward to more pics in ~60 days :D

Congratulations are definitely in order! I adore that female - so since she's done for you this year - why don't you just send her my way?! :P


What are you using for an incubator? I'm intrigued - haven't gotten to the point YET of needing an incubator - but interested in how others are incubating - be it homemade or purchased.

thanks all, i just use my cage liner as usual, nothing special for laying. my incubator is the closet in the herp room. it is a standard closet about 6ft. wide x 2ft deep. i have wire shelving in there with 11" flex running across the back. controlled by a helix, a couple of thermometers to double check evrything, and a small 4" fan to circulate some air.

robin, she's not for sale! lol with my future goals,there is no way i'm letting go of a nice breeder girl! unless you're talking 5 digits??? lol :D

Your incubator looks cozy enough to craw into and take a nap! I just picture a guest opening that closet to hang their coat :O

Congrats Vaughn! Can't wait to hear the news of that clutch when they all come out of their eggs (and see pics of course!)

Congrats on the eggs Vaughn! The incubator though, how do you keep the temp stable in there? Looks like everytime you open the closet the cool air will rush in. Am I missing something (besides part of my brain?) :)

jamie, the bator is in my herp room, it is usually 82-83 in there also. i have been trying real hard not to crack open the door to peek! lol. the doors and all are insulated too. i wanted a little heat to escape so that it is not building up heat all the time. it is still a work in progress. by the time i have this one mastered, i'll probably have another one.:laughing:


vaughn

Congratulations! Can't wait to see babies!

Looks good man! As long as you can keep that 88-90 temp up inside the incubation container all is good! :) . Cant wait to see those little heads pokin out in a couple months!! :banana:
