Home-made Egg Incubator

[51supernova50]

Ummm, Good idea but the cost of the heaters/tank, it would be better to just build one from an old fridge with flexwatt. I can see the water being an advantage in high temp areas but most incubation happens in the spring and this is not a very reliable setup and you lose a lot of space vertically for clutches.

[TheFishKeeper100]

Can i use reptile moss instead?

[mack1time]

@BiddiBiddiBass

In the wild they have more options to make it precise they will actually lay it in a suitable spot and then help regulate the eggs by thermoregulating themselves and then laying on the eggs.

[coolman8000]

i can use it for birds eggs ? or only for snake eggs ?

[MrPetlover45]

lmao nice tits

[eastern177]

can this incubate leopard gecko eggs?

[mack1time]

@eastern177

I would imagine with the correct temps and humidity it could incubate about anything

[TheSerpentman]

LMAO why did you put the book face down I wanted to see it man lol she had nice tits

[n1ck48]

at 5:41 I saw a porno lol... to the left of the tank

[MrDaldagnuur]

i thought snake is cold blooded ... 

[sk8erproductions1]

i hate how people put snakes in those.....

[BethanyandSammy]

Will this work with leopard geckos too?

[ionchanneldisorders]

will this work for mississippi map turtles

[jaimetheskater1]

@ionchanneldisorders yes

[MrCMatthewPrice]

Does it matter what size tank you use? I mean can it be a 20 long?

[mack1time]

@MrCMatthewPrice

Any size is fine as long as the heaters are fully submerged

[pablopp712]

why did u fill the tank all the way up, wouldnt it have the same effect with half of the tank or just the necesary to cover the cups??

[SALEHinCANADA]

this works ?

[SALEHinCANADA]

this works ?

[MickeySiller]

did all your eggs hatch with your incubator??

[mack1time]

@MickeySiller

100% success rate using this method

[primalfear1989]

I started setting this up about 2 weeks ago when my female corn snake shed her timely shed.And sure enough this morning she had 2 eggs out at 8 am. by 1:30pm she had laid 10 eggs and iv got them incubating in the same set up.

Thank you so much for your idea. It seems like a real smart way to do it.

Question..

if the water is sitting around 86-88 degrees will it be slightly cooler in the tupperware container? im hoping for 85 degrees.

[mack1time]

@primalfear1989

I agree it works better than just keeping them in my heated room and will be reverting back to this method if I am fortunate enough to get any more eggs.

I'd love to see a video if possible and hope you get some nice babies!

[mack1time]

@primalfear1989 as per your question I would throw a thermometer probe in there to be sure. If your shooting for 85 I would set the water to that, then you never risk getting too hot tho you may have to wait a couple extra days

[bahamalesster]

can this be used for chickens.

[davejm1980]

for enjoyment, we're not all savages

[RaceAcer60]

Yes and thank God we're not all stupid like some,animals like that should be left in the wild!.

[RaceAcer60]

[MysticIBRI]

How high does your hand saws RPM have to be to cut melamine w/out chipping it? Yours looks pretty well cut. So if you could just tell me how much RPM your saw has.

[mack1time]

I used a friends table saw and I am sure a chop saw chipps it.

[bigmediafilms]

[AndyRew117]

[Milksnakelover]

get some iron on tape, you can cover over the ends if you are really that fussed about the appearance.

[xsmurfx159]

can i use eco earth?

[carsismeZ06]

would this work for leopard geckos?

[mack1time]

as long as temps and humidity were correct im sure it would work

[carsismeZ06]

What's the success rate that you've had with this?

[mack1time]

100%

The past 2 years I diddn't use this method and left the eggs in the room temp of my reptile room and 3 clutches went bad on me

[zx21300]

can you use this method for bearded dragon eggs

[Ifritmaster]

what the heck , why do you collect snakes for??????

[lizzeredman]

[StrikerZ300]

Would this work for green tree pythons?

[kieranRAWR]

[infodude639]

how do you heat the rack?

[oliveisgreen]

do you like snakes?

[sagara5293]

Do they bite if u hold them?

[mack1time]

I have never been bit!

[jeremy3560]

can you do this with leopard gecko eggs

[mack1time]

I assume so as long as you maintain temps and humidity

[JnthnFRbn29]

can i make an incubator without a heating pad..?

[mack1time]

there is no heating pad, heating pads are too dangerous , use a intank water heater for fish.

[omarguevara]

cant wait till my show gets that big

[bsm91]

r thoese corn snakes

[BestReptile]

Thank!

[ceramickangaroo]

hey what percentage of humidity should the egg box be when its in the water

[mack1time]

not too sure

depends what you are incubating I guess

For corns it was about 80-90

[captainchris15]

i realy dont get the in-tank heater.

[joeyscooter]

Where did you get the IN-TANK SUBMERSIBLE HEATER? How many watts is it?

[indigochild001]

you can get it in any hardware store under 5 bucks i guess.

[KuraiHasu]

Its also known as a submersable fish tank heater. You can get them at aquarium supply stores.

[ProHackerz989]

kool dude but i thot ths was 4 birds cuz thts wat im doin

[Reptiguy425]

awesome idea. i hatched two leopard geckos so far. 6-8 more on the way. its working great thanks

[castleman0christophe]

could i just take my tubawhare with the eggs in it and just sit it on top of a heat pad?

[mack1time]

heatpads are not reliable enough.

Also the more moisture the better!

[reggie15norman]

really you see i got 6 heat pads and 6 tubaware tubs with tiny tiny moutn of vermiculite to hold water then there is verlite which obsorbs it up and hold it inside the stone ..... so i have 6 heat pad with the tubaware tubs on top with the eggs and i have hatched roughly 3 batch's of eggs the other 3 came later on

[KuraiHasu]

I hope you're using a thermostat because heating mats can get to pretty high tempertures...

[mack1time]

water heaters come with j a built in thermostat!

[mtboxxx]

nice porn collection

[mack1time]

[coclhs944]
