Alternative egg incubator

[kirk98]

Is this possible... To incubate for Females,to just keep them in a room with the temperature between 78 - 82 degrees, and not vent the container and just open the box once a week for air exchange, and then cover it back up, and that the Perlite or vermiculite would release the proper amount of humidity. the same for using a incubator and not putting holes in the container so that you don't have to add water to the incubator. ?? I hear it works. What do you guys think.

yes Ive heard of people doing this but I wouldn't try it, a $40 hovabator from farm and fleet (if you have one in your area) is a vary popular way for beginners to start. I have 2 of them and a mini frig i turned into one.

If you go to Albey's Too cool reptiles website, that is actually how they incubate for females. They go into a detailed explaination of how they set up their container. So, go look there! =]
