First time breeder, just wanted some feed back on incubating and what im planning to do. Im going for the poly box approach with the egg box raised off the floor with two bricks to allow air circulation, the heat source im going to use is a fish tank heater set at 28, now I know people have done this and all their batches have turned out succeful with both corns and beardies.
Another thing, when incubating, do you have to change the vermiculite substrate the eggs will be on? Or will it be fine for the duration?
Any oter good tips will be welcome :)
Cheers for any feed back, will be much appreciated! |

| Personally I use the same vermiculite, I just add a bit more and check the humidity before sealing it off for incubation :) |

| Yeah will do! Any tips on keeping it at the humidity same level? Will I need to spray inside the box? or maybe lay spagnum moss inside? |

| Personally I use vermiculite only and when it gets too dry, I spray a little (but not on the eggs) |

| So do you believe it best to have the heat source above the eggs? |

| I have the same set up as Eeji, but with heat source below (egg box raised about 3 inches above - not touching). Works as well. |
