So, expecting eggs at the end of May or early June, I went and purchased myself an incubator. I picked the nice looking exo terra model that looked like it would be everything I needed. Except I got it in, and it is tiny. The shelves in it are also so close together that only the little plastic tubs it came with (also tiny) can fit between them, and only if they are as far apart as they go (which is like 3 inches).
Picture, paper towel roll for scale (pardon the mess)
Has anyone used one of these for ball python eggs before? Can I make this work? Also, do I need to worry about the humidity inside the entire incubator, or should I be fine as long as my egg tubs themselves have pretty high humidity?
One last thing, but my girl has been laying inverted on and off for the last week. Is that weird at this point? I'm very sure we're close to egg laying time, as she's enormous and her back end is looking about ready to explode (her pre-lay shed was on the 4th)
Quick edit for more information:
I had planned on using the 6 qt shoebox tub as an egg container, but those just won't fit into this incubator. At all. What sized tubs will I need?
