Incubation experiment
I just found an interestng thing that some of you may have already heard of called spitballshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-Wje...2&kw=spitballs
Me being the curious type and one who likes 'sciencey' things lol I ordered some and after fooling around with them a bit I got the idea these things might be good to use as incubation medium.Not to sit the eggs directly in of course but on top of egg crate with these 'spitballs' underneath.
I'm thinking they could provide 100% humidity easily since they are essentially water pearls, they could hold heat just like a bottle of water but at the same time give off moisture and if kept airtight(like in an egg box) they wouldn't dry out. Hatchlings couldn't drown in them, they are nontoxic and they are reusable just simply let them dry out and shrink.
I haven't been able to try this yet cause I haven't been able to get my hands on a thermostat like I need to complete my incubator but I plan on putting this idea to the test soon as my first clutch is due to be laid the end of Feburary.
I just want to hear peoples thoughts on this.
