    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....

Buddy The Digital Egg Monitor

Curious, it says it can tell within 5 days if an egg is fertile. Then in the section that tells how it does it, it says it looks for a heart beat. Does a 5 day old egg have a heart beat?
 
It also says for chicks. Would it work the same way for a small leo egg? I think chicken eggs take less time to hatch too, so that would make me wonder if chicks grow faster, thus having a heartbeat in 5 days.
 
Haha i just made a post about this thing on my Thermostat post. I you google it i ound one or only 350!!! Lol i prefer that good ole candling method. The Buddy 2 moniters reptiles eggs, the buddy one does chicken aggs and such.
 
im wondering if a gecko egg would be closer to a parekeet egg than the thick shelled birds of prey. i mean for ball pythons or larger reptiles i can see needing a more powerful device but leopard gecko eggs are small with thin shells.
 
The cheaper model is for chicken eggs i think, but the expensive one is for reptile eggs, thick shelled bird eggs and raptors.
 
I think it's pretty neat. Would be exciting to see the light flashing in rhythm with a heart beat. Kind of like the excitement of hearing your baby's heart beat for the first time when pregnant. Oh anyone know what it would cost for an ultrasound machine? LOL Shanti, can you take my eggs in when you go for your next ultrasound. LOL
 
I think it would be worth it for an expensive herp or chams that take 10 months to hatch so you wouldn't have to wonder but I've never had a problem with candling eggs and the way I see it is natures going to take its course wether I have some machine that tells me if its alive or not. That machine can't tell you if there are birth defects or if it'll survive even if it is fertile so until that little machine can tell me that I'm going to stick with candling and save my money for more animals.
