ok so i have been doing alot of searching around and am geting more and more confused on what to do i have seen my pygmys geting there giggy giggy on tonight so am in a bit of a frenzy lol can borrrow an incubator but would rather have my own on hand if possible.

i am looking at makeing a styrofom box (1" thick walls) high enough to house 5 chinese containers with about an inch between each and all sides coating the foam with cement like a background.
i have a heatcord laying around just gotta check the watage on it

have had a look at pix of chris's converted fridge and want to try emulate that on a smaller scale. i can put in wire shelves use unails to feed the cord through the entire box, feed thermo/hydro cables through a hole sealed with expanda foam.

could also get a glass insert for the front door for viewing.

would this work if not any ideas to improve would be good???
ps anybody that has breed henerylawsoni and can tell me the temps ect needed would be an emence help or do i just use the temps people run for normal dragons.

will the incubation period still be 50-70days for pygmys??

cheers mick
 
ok due to insomnia and hrs of searching i have coe up with this

enclosure temps
hotspot temp = 40-43 c
cool end = 25-30 c

incubation temp of eggs = 28-30 c ideal temp 29c
at 29c eggs will hatch in aprox 45 days
no mentin of humidity levels...

is this correct??

amd still needing help with my incubator design setup

cheers
