WHAT A REDNECK INCUBATOR U CHEAP BASTARD

[TheFunkymonkey4u]

were do u et fermiculate plz answer back

[kuvtuagnoobs]

@TheFunkymonkey4u You can get them from the garden section in Wal-Mart or a plant shop.

[dreamera1]

Vermiculite?! Oh. This is an incubator for snake eggs isn't it?

[kuvtuagnoobs]

@dreamera1 Vermiculite is also used for reptile(obviously you don't know anything). Lizards, geckos, snakes, etc, are incubated with vermiculite which is recommended by most people who do happen to breed reptiles.

[TyTykingofwolves]

can you just use dirt instead of vermiculite?

[kuvtuagnoobs]

@TyTykingofwolves Yes you can, but make sure you actually are using soil that has no fertilizer in it, watch this, might be helpful :) He used the substrate that you can use for reptiles laying eggs and plus it's a helpful video too

[chheryboom]

i only have a aquarium can i use it?

[comanderkuddles]

@chheryboom no, just get a styrofoam cooler, they are like 2 dollars

[crewealltheway]

hw do you keep it moist!

[cuzincam12431]

whats the success rate for the incubator you showed?

im planing on using something similar for breeding but i dont want to buy a new one.

[CPoston26]

ok i have a question my female beardie laid her eggs earlier than expected and my incubator is still shipping, i went and setup a plastic bin with water and water heater do you think it will work?

[rappinzacke40]

i want to buy the tank

[666krissi]

once you have put the eggs in the vermiculite how do you keep it moist? can you get the eggs wet?

[mattspot2]

moisten the vermiculite the eggs grow so dry vermiculite is no good. WET substrate is Awe full

[aburningflame2]

@666krissi thge first time you moisten, soak the vermiculite in a ton of water, then let it sit, pour out the excess, then squeeze the vermiculite and pour out that excess, you shouldnt have to remoisten. if you need to remoisten ur a syringe or a squirt bottle. dont get the eggs wet!

[Vazula677]

@cheezman22productions-the person did not mean dragons,it was chickens.

[WillArtInc]

"Dude" ,It does not look like you should be breeding anything.Nice job on the ghetto incubators by the way.Was that a incubator graveyard?

[mattspot2]

@WillArtInc

no my friend this worked and kept all eggs alive till the commercial incubator arrived in the mail.

thanks for your input however we raised close to 150 dragons from one female alone. With almost a 100% egg survival rate.

[WillArtInc]

I stand corrected!

[cheezman22production]

dragons?!

[dymi0n]

[Quidditch93]

[stealthockey]

vermiculite, perlite, or hatch-rite.

[dymi0n]

u can get this stuff even at the garden center, for very cheap. vermiculite perlite,

[lilbasteard]

are 10 gallon tanks cheap

[mattspot2]

buy a cooler Styrofoam

[hermitcrabstuff34]

you can buy a 10 gallon tank for 11 dollars at super wallmart

[stealthockey]

you can get them used for like $1/gallon or new for like $2/gallon

[anwar1809]

i cant see a shit

[colton115]

What wat Haeter?

[mattspot2]

lol not like that anymore.. but yes it was...

[100ballpythons100]

so the egg box just floats on it or do i put bricks in the water so the egg box sits on them?

[mattspot2]

buy a hovabator from LLL Reptile

if not Make one out of a Styrofoam Cooler and

yes floats or sits on tall rocks to stabilize it. I actually put weights on the top to sink the vermiculite container deeper in the water.. But your best bet is buying a real incubator so you have enough room for all the eggs you get from anything

[StrikerZ300]

where did you buy the vermiculite

[mattspot2]

Grow store...

or Lowe's or Home Depot

[Keisho25]

Good video, and yeah the coolers work better but you can use the aquarum if you use something to cover the top. But ya the cooler is the best thing for incubating several clutches for the cost.

[mattspot2]

we use Hova-Bator incubators now man..

but thanks for the comment

[HereToRateYou]

I would suggest a Hova-Bator incubator.
