Thread: my first S.I.M. hatch.....

Hello.

After reading a lot of this Product, i thought to test this for my self as well.

First of it, i just tested it with putting in a single amel fattail egg and observed the incubation period exactly.
After seeing that the egg developed well in that box, i just put in some others, but not all of my clutches.

this morning the first single egg i put in hatched out well and looked very good.

the black plastic stuff you see in, i just put in to make sure that the fresh layed eggs donīt roll around, because one thing i have to mention is, that the space you can put the rows, is sometimes to big and others to small for some eggs, so i have to make sure myself and put those simple black plastic stuff in to fix the eggs.

you will see 2 eggs in there which one is a little denting ( close to the hatchling ), i donīt know exactly why, but i say myself, that will happen, not every egg is doing fine ( i donīt use a hovabator, so i know those problems because i read about that ).

the other egg who does not look so good, i took out of the normal incubation after seeing it went not so good, but i think it will also get not good anyway.
but thatīs the normal thing during a breeding season, not every egg will be good during that time.

i use perlite in the SIM with a little more water, than the normal way of incubation.

Soon i will try this with some of my Australian Gecko eggs, but with the more comon species first

Congratulations. I have hatched 3 fat tails so far in my SIM and am waiting for my first leopard gecko hatchling any day now.

Awesome!!! Congrats on the hatchling!!

nice hatchling!!

Thanks for the nice words.

I still hatched out some more fattails and also my first australian gecko ( strophurus taenicauda ) in the SIM container.
It seems to be a good alternative for me compared to the other normal incubation methods.
I still test this for myself this season and until now i just can say it works for me very good.
thanks so far.
regards stefan
