Best Incubator Ever for Carpet Chameleons!

[reptilesetcetera]

So my house tends to get a little warm for Carpet eggs. Well because of this I have been trying to find the right incubator to keep the eggs around 72-74 degrees for the first month to month and a half. Then be able to slowly drop it down to 60 for a month to month and a half. Then back up to 72-74 for the remainder of the incubation. It just so happens that the exo terra incubator not only heats but also cools so this is the most ideal incubator I have found and for only $100 at our local pet store.

I went looking for a incubator the other day because one of my female carpets was sneaky and laid a clutch of eggs with out me even knowing. Well now I have 14 good eggs and about 6-7 months of wait time.

If you are interested in some babies just send me a pm and I will put you on a wait list.

THanks,

I got some Carpet chameleon eggs cooking as well. I lost some now I only have 14. They look good and should be I saw the male copulating the female for 15 to 20 minutes. They have benn cooking for 5 months now.

Well sounds like you made it past the hardest part! Did you end up using a cooling period or did you just incubate them at the same temperature?

We've actually just purchased one of those recently as our other incubator has 6.5 month old eggs in it and our female is getting ready to lay her second clutch.

Have you started using it yet? We've plugged ours in to monitor the temperature spikes and see how well it does at lowering them.

Sure have!

I noticed it fluctuates on the temperature gauge but I used a temperature gauge inside that I own and the temperature doesn't vary at all. I am currently keeping the eggs at 70 now and it holds it right around that consistently.

I did not use a cooling period.
