![]() Here is Zoo Med, we label our containers with the name of the species that laid the egg, the date they were found, and the number of eggs that we found in the clutch. Record keeping is a very important part of the incubation process. If you’re using a secondary thermometer, placing it directly inside the incubation container will help produce the most accurate readings. ![]() ![]() When using an incubation container in unison with the ReptiBator make sure to research the different varieties of incubation media and choose the one that will work best for your pets eggs. Reptile eggs should not be turned over, so dig carefully when searching for eggs. When you have found the nest, carefully remove each egg without rotating it. Doing so beforehand may cause unnecessary stress for your bearded dragon. When it does come time, and your pet is displaying signs of nesting or egg-laying behavior, make sure to allow her to finish nesting before attempting to remove them. Zoo Med’sĭigital Thermometers are perfect for this task. This allows for a more accurate incubation temperature. First off, while the ReptiBator’s thermometer worksįine for gauging and setting the overall temperature of the incubator, it’sĪlways a good idea to have a secondary thermometer set up in close proximity to That we’ve prepared the ReptiBator, let’s go over some tips on how to set up (As shown in the image below) Set the number of degrees you want for the alarm and allow the menu to sit for five seconds to accept the command. A picture of two bells on the right-hand side of the display should pop up to indicate the correct menu. Press the ‘Cooler’ button to access these controls. With the alarm, the display will flash if the temperature drops outside the set levels. A flashing LED indicates the ReptiBator’s pulse proportional thermostat giving off pulses of heat to stabilize the incubator’s temperature. The red LED on the display will light up whenever the heating element is running. The temperature on the ReptiBator can be set anywhere between 59° and 104° Fahrenheit. Once you’ve decided on the temperature, let the menu sit for five seconds for it to accept the input. From here adjust the temperature with the ‘Warmer’ and ‘Cooler’ buttons accordingly. The word ‘Heat’ should pop up on the display. ![]() Luckily, ReptiChip resists both.Once you’ve set the display, press the ‘Warmer’ button to set the default temperature. Because eggs are incredibly susceptible to infection at this stage of development, it's therefore critical to protect them from fungus, mold, and the like. One of the most popular ways for new reptile breeders to hatch their eggs is through easy hatch trays, and easy hatch trays almost always contain a medium that is extremely resistant to fungus and mold. ReptiChip's coconut substrate holds humidity remarkably well and creates the ideal hatching environment for your reptile. After all, reptiles' preferred habitat is humid environments, and their eggs have therefore evolved to flourish in this environment. One of the single most important factors to reptile incubation is humidity. Several factors go into choosing the perfect reptile egg incubator.
