    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.

    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....

Hello all,

I have a question in regards to incubator temps. With Hognose breeding just around the corner I want to make sure I have everything set for incubation. I have made a incubator from a wine cooler, everything is set and ready to go. My question is.. Hognose eggs are incubated @80-84 degrees. Should ambient air and thermostat be set at around those temps or should the inside of the container be at those temps? I did a practice run for a couple days with thermostat set @83 degree but inside my S.I.M. container was at 79-81 degrees measured with a thermometer. I would appreciate your input from you experience breeders.

Thanks,
 
The inside of the container should be those temps. I kept mine at 83 last season and had a 95% hatch rate.
