DIY Egg Incubator Without Electricityįor this project, you will need a 20 liters water can, rice husk, a small plastic storage box, glue gun, fresh eggs of 2 - 12 days old, a temperature, and humidity meter, a 15W bulb with a plug and its holder, and water. ![]() I wonder why some swell up and others do the opposite o. Its at 85-90% humidity within the incubator so im sure its fine :0 If you are worried you could spread a little damp sphagnum moss over them (not sure whta they're on at the moment, I found vermiculite by itself wasn't good enough, so I had vermiculite as a base then a thin layer of moss on top). One actually burst :/ Baby was fine though. Im a little worried though, I have been looking at pictures and my eggs look a lot more dented than the ones I see on here KingdomĪpparently it's natural for them to dent a little just before hatching, but mine did the opposite, they swelled up massively. Im really excited as its my first time breeding snakes and it will be good practise for when I breed with my own snakeys :D The record keeping thing is a great idea and im definitley going to make some sort of logbook for them. Im head of reptiles and amphibs at my uni so thankfully space and money isnt a issue ( I get awesome funds if I presentate a good plan) Right! Thank you for the info, very usefull :) These are useful for giving to new owners, you can record things like does the baby strike it's food or is does it prefer it overnight? Was the food scented with anything?Ģ.2.3 Corn snakes Red, Rosie, Liana, Checkers, Luna, Diego, Snowman This is also where I keep shedding and eating records. ![]() As soon as mine hatched,their box was labelled with their number and genetics, and a matching card was labelled with their number, genetics, weight and date of birth. Two of the larger ones I still have have been given a 11 litre box now because they're getting huge. I have had to upgrade mine a few times, one at about 6 weeks old (from a 0.75 litre box to a 3 litre box), and once at 6 months old (from the 3 litre to a 10 litre). They will grow very fast once they start eating, so make sure you have a contingency plan if they don't all sell right away. The aspen is easier for them to accidentally swallow. I would suggest keeping all babies on only kitchen roll until you are sure they are pooping as they should, then if you want to give them bedding (not essential, it is easier to clean them out with only kitchen roll), I personally would recommend chips over shredded aspen. Put the baby in it's box with some moist kitchen roll, and the umbilicus should drop off by itself within a day. ![]() I freaked out when I first saw this, but do not worry. You might find some of the babies come out of the egg with the umbilicus still attached. In fact one of mine (now 9 months old) has only started eating in the last month. Some of mine struck right away, some had to be left with it overnight, and others proved a lot more difficult to get eating and I had to get creative. They will shed within a week, then you can think about offering a first meal. The first thing I did was pick them up (very carefully, they were so tiny), weigh them, and put them in their container with their hides and water. ![]() It will burrow it's way down into your incubating medium to hide in the warm. When they do come out you will most likely find an empty shell and no initial sign of the baby. Once they pip they can take up to 24 hours to actually come out of the egg, so don't rush them. What im expecting is to find baby snakes in my incubator and im planning to just take them out and place them in their tubs? I have little snake tub thingies ready with snakebedding and a tiny bowl for water in each tub (should be getting 20 hatchling if all the eggs hatch) Is there anything I need to know about hatchlings / what to do when they hatch?
