    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....

i have two eggs in a plastic container with clear lid , should there be hole in he container for moisture to escape and how do you know if the humidity is right?too much too little? how do i do this step by step? please help me!!!!
 
I also use containers (deli cups) with no holes, I open them once a week for fresh air. As far as moisture you don't want condinsation dripping on the eggs, this can cause mold. If this is happening, take a paper towel and fold it so it fits over the eggs, and let the condinsation drip on there and replace it till it stops dripping.

If you think it is not moist enough you can add water to the substrate, but make sure you add only a little and off to the side of the container. If you feel just the top of the eggs are too dry, take a paper towel, wet it and ring it out, fold and place on top of the eggs.
 
I use albeys method. A brief over view of the method is to add perlite and water (1:.8 ratio) in a closed, airtight container. All that is required is opening the lid once a week for airflow. Hope this helps, if not go to http://www.albeysreptiles.com/incubate-eggs.htm this will show you step by step what to do. Good luck, Chris.
