Thanks! Now I need to know what substrate to use for the babys.:cheesy:

 

[Mel&Keith]

For hatchlings? Paper towels.

 

[Mack Leo Boy]

Yeah I use paper towels too.

 

[Baker14]

Paper towels all the way.

You can also build one out of an igloo cooler you may have around the house already.

 

[LIZARDLOVER]

Thanks. Can you tell me how to add things to the cooler to make it an incubator????

Just get a cooler, place 1-2ft (depending on the cooler size) of 12" Flexwatt to the bottom of the cooler. On top of the flexwatt place some water bottles. On top of the water bottles add a layer of egg-crate...done. Connect the flexwatt to your thermostat and set as needed.

Here is an example using an old cooler I had for a single clutch of JCP eggs and have used for a single clutch of BP eggs. I had the cooler, Helix and flexwatt. The only thing I had to buy was the egg-crate and water bottles $5.00..lol

LOL...I didn't stack them, the snake that laid them did.
They all started pipping pretty much around the hour.
