I wonder how much those thermometers are that he's using... I've never seen any like those. Then again, I'm only a hobbyist and use more humble means of measuring. But I need to get me some of those.

In the beginning of October, Bill Yeastadt from Pottstown, PA hatched beardies in 60 days. Another customer is about to hatch Blackhead Monitor Lizards. There will be quite a few suprises in the next few months with different species hatching.

Bigger SIM is coming...... Bigger SIM is coming.....

*start the theme music to JAWS.....

Cheers!

Wow, huge congrats to Gregg and John!

 

[Tony C]

Congrats! Any chance that the larger S.I.M. will be sized for the Repti-pro/Thinkgeek/LLL incubator?

 

[Nigel4less]

limited edition? tell us more!

Gold Lining and Diamond Suspension Bars? :main_laugh:

 

[Johnantny]

The special edition S.I.M. was a smoked black version with neon rails. The reason behind it was to keep the eggs in a dark state when using light bulb incubators. The neon rails was just for fun. The rails will be available by Christmas. The smoked version is going to be special order in bulk numbers.

The large SIM should fit the LLL Reptipro incubator and most other readily available incubators. No photo of the new one but think 6 quart tub, a bit taller.

I have my SIM sitting inside my incubator rite now, just waiting on this upcoming season to fill it up with eggs!

So when i get some babies, i'll post em up n let u know!

 

[Anthony Caponetto]

I've been using this method on python eggs for about six years I guess...as have a lot of other people. I got the idea from the no-substrate method developed by chondro breeders, but I added perlite to the water to prevent splashing, underneath two pieces plastic light diffuser.

The diffuser costs about $10 for a 2x3 foot piece at Home Depot. Looks different but uses the exact same principle (almost 100% humidity without the eggs actually touching anything wet).

Obviously my setup won't work for gecko eggs because they're not adhered in a clump like snake eggs...if you're doing geckos, you need the rails on the SIM product to hold them in place.

While their product may be new, I wouldn't hesitate for a minute. This method time tested and works like a charm. As far as I'm concerned, it's the easiest incubation method around...and it's very cool someone figured out a way to adopt it to work for smaller individual eggs.
