Well...I am glad hat I could help you out. George is a very level headed person to deal with. I have seen some of his work in person and they all turn out great. I incubate at 85.3 degrees. What are you incubating at?

i incubate at 88.0 and dont have any problems. dragons hatch at 4 inches. i heard somewhere that higher temps cause smaller babies. i dont see that. i also went with deeper containers for the eggs. the eggs get so large so fast that they suck all the moisture out of the vermeculite.deeper container more vermeculite and problem solved.

Hey Ernie,

Haven't seen you around at the show for a while... Hope all is well and I'm glad to hear everything is working so well with the incubator.

Here is the latest one I did...

Take care,
George

George,

Things are going good. I have my first clutch in the incubator. We started redoing the Dragon room and it delayed my breeding a couple of months. I have my test clutch in the incubator now and they should hatch around June 7th. This thing kicks all form of *** when compared to the Hovabator. It is easier to maintain humidity and temperature. Once the eggs hatch I will be hooking my male up with another female. The babies should be massive. He is 620 grams at 23" and still filling out and she is 560 grams at 19".

I made one out of an old refrigerator. I just used Helix, heat tape, and FEW$4.00 mini fans from walmart. To date I have hatched several cluthches, and more to go!!

i was going to use heat tape then i saw the heating element glk herp used on midknight962002 unit and liked how clean it looked compared to heat tape.
