Wow, that's pretty hot for a basement!

 

[thegeckoguy23]

yes it is i guess but then again i do live in NH and idk i have them next to my lap top that is running so i think that is keeping the temp up usually is is like 78n or so.

Remember that in New England the temperatures can really change so you'll have to anticipate when to put them back in the incubator if it gets really hot or really cold.

why not just leave them in the incubator? sounds like alot of work putting them back and taking them out everyday.

In and out of the inc. is only allowing the eggs to experience radical temp changes which will have a negative affect on the development of the embryo. Just keep them in a incubator where the temps wont fluctuate much.

Its a deggree and a half difference.

anything over .5 I am personally not comfortable with

I would go with what EG is saying. Trust them -- they've been doing this a while!

And in my personal experience, any sort of temperature fluctuation over 0.5 degrees Fahrenheit can cause physical deformities such as notched or missing eyelids. Something I personally wouldn't want to take a chance with.

Okay you can leave your little notifcations at home because I can reed tbh! And you don't need to tell me about breeding I would not be breeding if i wasnt aware of everything! And also I posted this thread for a reason and i took everyones subgestions into thought so dont tell me over again.

ummm....

please tell me the purpose of in and out of the incubator instead of in all the time? do you not have a good enough thermostat to keep the temps consistent? i mean i don't get it

I'm curious to know this as well. The key to incubation is stability, why put the eggs through intentional daily fluctuations?

 

[Landen]

I can't think of one good reason to take the risk in doing this. If it works for you, by all means go ahead. Let us know what hatches.

It was to cut down on power during the day but i decided to put them in the incubator again .

The reason I was doing this was because a member i trust very munch does this nd on his first year of breeding he hatched 27 this way but i found yesterday a deggree drop so now im using the incubator.

please don't take offence to what people are suggesting to you.We're here to help u out.The method you suggested on the whole would create more deformities than not.I'm sure you would like healthy hatchlings correct?Anyway it's nice to know your using the incubator again.

 

[BrilliantEraser]

Thanks Roger, that's the point I was trying to get across.

Not sure if I'd go on someone's foray year breeding, especially if their setup, location, etc was identical to yours. That person may have had success but without every tiny detail equal, it would be hard to base everything off that.

It's good to hear, you're back to the incubator. They don't use that much power, at least the smaller ones don't.
