the height of the container while leaving the container on the
scale. Now read the weight and add the same weight of water
as described above: 1/1 for vermiculite, 0,8/1 for perlite. For
instance: if the scale shows 100 gr, simply add 100 gr (or 100
ml) of water in case of vermiculite, or 80 gr (or 80 ml) of water
in case of perlite. Use bottled water or tap water treated with
Aquatize (PT1979)
6. Shake the egg incubating container, to evenly distribute
the water.
7. Open the container, spread the incubation medium evenly, then
push some indentations in the incubation medium with your
thumb so that the eggs will fit in it covering 50% of the egg. This
will prevent the eggs from rolling around and at the same time,
the contact with the moistened incubation medium will allow the
egg to absorb moisture when needed. The upper part of the egg
is not covered and will assure that the egg can "breath". In case
the eggs stick together in a clutch, make a cavity that will secure
the complete clutch, with the upper part (50%) reaching out of of
the incubation medium.
8. Close the lid of the container and make sure there is ample
space between the eggs and the lid.
9. Weigh the egg-incubation container including moistened
incubation medium, eggs and lid, and mark down the weight on
the lid, together with the date the eggs are laid, and the species
name.
10. Place the egg-incubation container in the Incubator.
11. Check the weight of the egg-incubation container on regular
intervals (weekly), and add moisture if necessary (to match the
weight marked on the lid). If adding water, use bottled water or
tap water treated with Aquatize (PT1979), and make sure that no
water is spilled over the eggs! Spread the water evenly along the
sides of the container and in-between the eggs.
IMPORTANT: Please research what temperatures and substrates
are preferred for incubation of the specific species.

IMPORTANT: The following is a list of AVERAGE incubation
temperatures, and is intended as a guide ONLY. For more
specific information, or for information on species not
mentioned in this instruction manual, please read specialized
literature on the incubation of reptile eggs. We do not accept
