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.

Is it okay to use a chicken egg incubator?
Can you use a chicken egg incubator to incubate leopard gecko eggs?

I'm sure someone will have a more intelligent answer than this, but I would think it is ok. The Hovabator(c) is what I used to use for king snakes and corn snakes, and it is a chicken egg incubator. Worked fine for me.

It would depend on which type of chicken egg incubator you are looking at. Poultry eggs have to be rotated during the incubation process, and some incubators are designed to do that automatically. This will kill reptile eggs, which must maintain their vertical (this side up) orientation.

As long as nothing is moving the eggs, it should work great. You can dial in the temp. you're looking for, right?

sure...why not!
i'm using one for the third year in a row now...no problems whatsoever...
The only problem can be the temperatures...
Chicken eggs need much higher temperatures...make sure you can get the temps low enough for leopard eggs!!!

I don't have one yet, but now I know what one to look for: no egg rack and a dial temp. Thanks!
