Incubator as incubation container?

[herpman97]

Hey, I saw on youtube breeders used the bottom of a hovabator (with vermiculite) to incubate Ball Python eggs. (they hatched). Once I think about it, it actually seems like it's a smart idea. Tell me what you think. Has anyone ever tried it? Will it work for leo eggs?

I dont think this would work because you cant really seperait cluches of eggs doing this.

I think it will work for you but i think that you would have to test to see if the temps in the hova stay consistant as they would in a container. Also making sure the humidity is good enought too. If you don't keep your clutches in seperate containers then it should work as long as everything checks out fine with the stabilization of the temps and keeping good humidity. I like keeping my clutches seperated in containers so I know who is from who if more then one gecko hatches at once which is Tommy's reason why not to do it and the reason why I wouldn't too.

i did this with ball python eggs...i had no success. It is really hard to keep in humidity, even with taping up the holes..

I tried the first time I did dragon eggs lost every egg because of the low humidity
