incubating

Hello, I own the herp nursery II by lucky reptiles (I hope the luck translates to the eggs) Thanks to the advice I got on this forum I set up the incubator and ill put in the eggs after another 12 hours. The incubator now has a plastic container with water with a sponge reaching just above...

I recently moved into a new property and within a week my female sulcata dug her first hole and laid 30+ eggs. Unfortunately she did brake about 8 of her eggs and egg yoke and dirt was clumped all around the other good eggs. She is fairly young and still getting the hang of egg laying. I wasn’t...

Hi all, Shortly after I acquired 3 beautiful Sri Lankan Star hatchlings, one of my young female Sulcata decided to lay. This is her first clutch. Honestly didn't know how long they were laid for but its been mid 70's (at most) outside for the past 2-3 weeks in San Diego so even if it was that...

Hi everyone. I’m just enquiring about the temperature with incubating sulcata eggs. I’ve incubated before and been successful. But this time round I have a different incubator and for some reason it won’t let me drop the temperature on it. The lowest it will go to is 37.5•c. Is that too high...

I'm not breeding any turtles or tortoises at the moment, but I had a thought that a quick internet search didn't turn up an answer to. If we incubate our eggs in a constant temperature and humidity environment, and reptile sex is dependent upon incubation temperature, how do breeders not turn...

I am looking for advice regarding incubating leopard tortoise eggs. What incubator should I get? What temperature is optimal to produce more females? How should I go about incubating the eggs?

Hi, I have a clutch of six Hermanns eggs, three of which have just hatched successfully. Whilst incubating, the eggs were in two, seperate trays of vermiculite in the same incubator. The hatched eggs are all from one tray, the remaining three are in the other tray. It looks as though one egg...

My first batch of star eggs are just laid. Should I add water to the vermiculite? If so, how should I do it? I have an R-Com Max 50, so it has advanced humidity control. I just want to know if it is important and if I should add it directly to the vermiculite and how much to add. I plan to...
