Febuary hatch a long

[Drache]

My eggs are in!

I have three temperature gauges in there. The bottom of the 'bator is reading at 100F and the top is 99.1F. Hoping that since the eggs are in the middle they are really close to 99.5, I was kind of concerned this morning because the top thermometer was reading 100.9 so I adjusted it down. Hope I didn't already cook these eggs.

Humidity is reading right at 40%

Quick question, when I put the eggs in lockdown I stop turning them, right? Can I put them in a hatching tray at the bottom of the 'bator? I'm a bit confused on that.

My hubby is setting up a webcam so I can see the incubator from work.

OMG!

We just had an incident! I was checking in on the incubator and just as I looked at the window I saw a gecko zip by on the inside! :O

I didn't really want to open the door but I didn't want this little gecko to die. Fortunately he was on the door so I grabbed him really fast. The temp and humidity only dropped to about 99.3 and 39% went right back up. Hope the eggs are okay!

As for the gecko, it's rainy and cold outside so I have him in a little cage with a plant and I'll release him tomorrow when it warms up a bit.

Yes you stop turning them and put them on the tray, and increase the Humidity. I like mine to be between 65% to 75% for hatching that is what works for me!
