hatching experiment home made

Date sort Score sort
I have a 40wt bulb now have door closed trying to see how this goes. I also put bulb at angle so its closer to water source. Do I need more water source? Bulb right above the majority not just half?
I took out the digital thing and it read 35 humidity in my home I set it out for about 30min. Now that I have it in box it shows 61 humidity and decreasing.... soooo as temp goes up humidity goes down.

Hope humidity goes up I have to be sure temp does not go over 102
 
Its holding at 101 with humidity at 34. And door is only cracked open. Tried closing it was at 102 I dont know if it would climb higher but when I have time I could Try and see.

how much space is between the bulb and the eggs? You need to take the temperature on the hot side of the eggs. There can be a several degree variation between the "sunny side" and the "shady side".

Measures 2" and I have on wire end a cover its the top of an cardboard type egg carton.
 
That looks a lot better than the first photo, but please be careful with the cardboard divider. Something non-flammable would be much safer.

huuummm that was my thought also but tinfoil would be a heat conductor ..right? and ive not anything else that can help but did have thoughts of adding a cookie sheet parchment you place in the oven just fold it and place between cardboard and bulb.

Tinfoil is not a bad idea, either. Just build a double wall, with an inch or so of air space between the foil layers. All the heat will pass through, but it won't be in a focused place.
