quick question on incubation

[contos]

how often do you need to air out the container the eggs are in? im pretty sure i know everything else that you need to do but if someone wants to cover all the basics for me thatd be sweet?

Hi
What specie eggs do you have in mind?

It may depend on the size of the tub in relation to the amount of medium used.

I have sometimes never fanned python eggs at all. Other times it's been every month or fortnight etc.

We never fan the eggs during incubation because we use ventilated containers, If you think about it the reptiles incubating thier own eggs are not in an air tight situation so why bother sealing tubs!
On a side note our incubators are fan forced and ventilated as well, this gives us a full air change in both the tubs and the incubator constantly

well ive got a pair of breeding water dragons in an outdoor avairy so im pretty sure theyll breed
and im hoping on breeding some inside jackys as well

ok so heres how i think it goes
put the eggs in a container with 1:1 vermiculite and water (by weight)
put it in a bar fridge with a ceramic heater and pulse thermostat
keep it on 24/7
am i missing anything?
