    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hi, First let me state that all three companies mentioned have all been great to do business with. <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> Second let me say that I made a terrible miscalculation in my follicle fondling of my female Royal Pythons. <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'> Well not terrible. There are two clutches in my hovabator and at least two more(unexpected) on the way. I was going to build my own out of a freezer next year when I would hopefully have seven clutches from Royals and two from Borneo Bloods. I don't feel it's safe to build it now and put eggs in it without trying it out for at least a month.
The Big A incubator is 154.99+tax more, but it seems to offer more.  It also comes w/ a Big Apple Therm. Does anyone have experience with this incubator or The Big A Therm? How many Royal Python clutches will it realisticly hold?
                                 Thank You, Rob Bryerton

If your breeding projects are in the expansion mode I would probably consider an incubating room rather than an expensive incubator. A small room (big closet) with temps controlled with a thermostat and a couple of fans (high and low) for air circulation is more than plenty to succesfully hatch reptile eggs. Eggs are placed in plastic buckets half-way filled with vermiculite and covered with a glass cover. The buckets are either placed on the floor or on shelves. That's the way VPI is hatching their ball pythons. You can go to any Menards and build a state of the art, thermostatically controlled incubating chamber at a fraction of the cost of any commercial incubator. But you are right this is maybe next years project.
