    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

We plan on making an incubator out of a wine cooler and needed to know your opinions on these two companies. We have heard very positive things about both. Which is the more dependable one?

We were thinking about the heating element also. Some say light bulbs, heat emitters or flexwatt heat tape. The heat emitters sound the best. Put one on the top and one of the bottom of the cooler? Should we invest the money into the additional feature to make the temperature drop at night for bearded dragon eggs? :shrug01:
 
I personally like the helix models. I use light bulbs as the heat source.

Also, you don't want any temp drops on the eggs. The incubation temp needs to be a constant. Any drops or spikes in temperature can kill the eggs or seriously disrupt the formation of the dragons causing birth defects.
