Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

thank you so much mike and desiree. i can't wait to see the babies when they hatch. if i do have a starting ground for a hybino line, then i'm going to try and work on that. of course i will be asking a ton of questions as things progress. wish my camera wasn't broken. all i have now to take pics is my cell phone. i am looking forward to the hamburg show next month because i will be looking for a girlfriend for my blizzard. hopefully i can find a cute banana blizzard or even a red stripe. i also have a sweet little hypo that can use a girlfriend in the future. next year i am planning on breeding my beardie if i can find a nice girl for him too.
quick question, when the eggs are in the incubator, how often should the cup be opened for air exchange and checking if the vermiculite needs to be moistened?

First of all congrats. Personally I do air exchanges once a week and don't add water. I just go by the Albey method and so far this season I am 13 out of 14 on hatchlings. Which is really surprising me as 75% of my breeders are first years. The one that didn't make it was infertile.

thank you brian. i don't have a digital scale so what i did is mixed the vermiculite and water until i was only able to squeeze a few drops from the mix. i do have the deli cups sealed with no air holes. so i just open the lid of the deli cup once a week? for how long? i'm assuming not for too long, just enough to open the lid and then close it again so i don't mess with the temp controls. thanks again

You could use a kitchen scale that costs about $5 for now. It may not be to the tenth of a gram but it is more accurate than the squeeze method.( Just a suggestion)
During an air exchange you want to minimize any heat loss so I remove the container and shut the incubator. Then I use the lid to fan the air for a few seconds and put it back in. While you have them out inspect them for mold or denting before fanning them. That way you can do any maintenance in a timely manner.

That's awesome! Jessica if you don't mind raising them up you could get a couple baby Blizzards for the price of one here.

thank you michael for the info. i will be looking into it. i separated gandhara and lowari today so she can have a break. i think i actually heard a sigh of relief from her when i did it. i heard him vibrating his tail at her last night and decided that she needs a break. i wonder if i'll be seeing more eggs from her. i guess i'll be finding out in a few weeks. on the plus side my boyfriend ordered a new digital camera so next week i should be able to post some pics of everyone.
