Actually I do. They are 10 weeks old currently and I’m waiting untill they are older. To breed. I’m re homing a few drakes soon to a couple of friends but I am planning to breed and hatch with them.
Aww thanks.
Yes I did that to, but my a few incubations ago the eggs got smelly and infected then it infected all the other eggs and left a horrible smell for weeks so I had no hatches! How can I prevent this? I cracked open an egg to see... mold?
Do you candle the eggs to check fertility? Infertile eggs (or even fertile ones that died) can cause a smell if left in there. Sometimes they’ll explode causing an even bigger mess. I let the incubator trays (I have a cabinet type incubator) sit in scented pine sol cleaner for a few hours and then scrub them down. That gets the smell gone for me at least.
I do candle every week. One started to leak right before it almost exploded in my face.
Yeah they can get pretty stinky very fast.
