Power out!

[Shrapnailed]

Eeeek the power is out and my eggs are chilling!

Oh no! I hope it comes on soon, and you don't lose the eggs or get any deformities!

I only needed it once but I always keep battery powered drop thermometer and a case of hand warmers. Not the best but, works great in a bind

well eggs chilled from 85 to about 70 degrees for a few hours. was a gradual drop and nothing drastic. i took my incubator to my inlaws and got it plugged up. still no power on at my place. dang ice!

Hopefully your guys will be alright, but he had an incubator spike and his eggs came out mostly okay. One was just tailless and the other has a curly tail.

That curled tail looked pretty cool, as long as they are alive and kicking ill be satisfied!

I hope your eggs are okay! and I don't have eggs yet but I blew a fuse (similar to your situation) for my reptile room and my breeder geckos lost heat for an hour/half or so. Think their eggs (developing inside the females still) will be okay?

I fixed the fuse problem ASAP btw.

I would think that they should be fine. If the geckos are okay, the eggs would be also IMO. [emoji4]

Well only time will tell if they are or arent. But, on the bright side my female is about to lay clutch number 3! Getting pretty excited again, wondering how many she will lay.

Oh no! That's the worst! I lost 3 of my eggs once when the power was out! One made it out alive tho. How many eggs did you have in it?

I only had 2 eggs in the incubator as this is my first go at this and i only have one female gecko atm.

Up to 6 eggs now! Hoping I get atleast one hatchling. Doing my best. Fish are so much easier to breed lol

Oh no! I picked up a few of those heat packs at the reptile show this past weekend just in case this happened to me. Though, I doubt it will help. We rarely lose power but when we do it is for days at a time.

Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping you get some hatchlings this season!

Thanks its no worries! I redesigned my incubator and made a few personal tweaks and i can run it as hot as 90 degrees. It was a matter of drilling two holes and attaching so flex wat tape on the inside of the incubator. Wired the fan to "think" it has to cool and it is running like a champ now.
