Incubation

I have tested, like a lot of amateurs of reptiles, the famous polystyrene's box, in witch incubation's box are keeped at good temperature and hygrometry, by warming a tank of water by an resistance of aquarium.

This kind of method is quite easy, but the room's temperature must not change too much, else the embryos risk to undergo too hard variations, and by the way, this product no viables babies or having some malformations.

In 2007 i try a new system insensible to outside variations (a réfrigérator), with a biggest capacity, and incubation's box imitated with Olivier Antonini' one.

The dry warming system is made by using a "laser printer fuser", the hot air is pushed by two mini-turbines, thus making "turning heat". The regulation of temperature (32/33 °C) is "home made". To verify the temperature, I use three thermometers with external probe, up / middle / down in the incubator.

The hygometry is directly produced in the incubator's box by 3 or 4 Cm of water, and is verified by an hygrometer with external probe .

Eggs will be set on a bed of "Perlon" laying on the grate séparating water/air.

The more difficult is to collect eggs in good conditions.
