eggs - Page 2

After I punched the incubator a few times the temp went up to 26 but is stuck on that now..

Spoke to 'Swell' and they are sending a replacement. They don't sell Hovabators so it's going to be a Reptibator.. Has anyone used one of these before?
Not coming until Tuesday though so will have to set up the heated propagator and heat mat again until then.

I really hope these babies hatch ok..feeling worried

bought the exo terro for the cooling effect but the more I read about exo, herp etc the more im inclined to go back to the hoverbator as my number 1 incubator

Last summer I used a pulse thermostat with my hoverbator and it kept the temp nice and stable

Good luck Lynne, they're quite tough little things, so they might be ok

I can't see any movement in the eggs at the moment but they are due to hatch any day so probably wouldn't be moving much.

If they do hatch I'll post photos.

I'm away the weekend, going to Norfolk to see parents. Not good timing x

Fingers crossed they'll be just fine, Lynne. Maybe you'll come home to a nice surprise.

Still waiting for the new incubator to arrive.. I don't think these 2 eggs will make it to be honest. I was away the weekend and when I came home temps had risen to 36c.
Grrrrrr.
