INCUBATOR HELP!!!!!
The classic way is to fill a sandwich container half full of moist vermiculite, just wet enough so you can squeeze a drop of water out of a pinch. This season I’ve been using perlite instead and it’s working really well. I just half fill a container and then top it off with water and let it sit for a while. When I’m ready to use it I drain off all the excess water and then put the eggs in. Use a soldering iron or drill and make half a dozen holes in the lid for ventilation. Incubate at 83 degrees, I keep a cup of water in my incubators to keep the humidity up and hardley ever have to add water to the dishes. Once the eggs are set in the containers DON’T pick them up again. A lot of people like to handle them to candle or whatever reason, it’s not a good idea. Hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions on it.Sean
