Exo Terra Incubation Egg Box

 

The Exo Terra Incubation Egg Box is a specially designed container that allows for the safe and efficient incubation of reptile eggs. It employs the Suspended Incubation Method, wherein the eggs are placed in a tray above water or substrate, rather than being buried in a moist substrate. This method offers several benefits, including improved gas exchange between the egg membrane and the surrounding air, allowing the eggs to absorb sufficient moisture from the ambient humidity in the container.

 

Key features and advantages of the Exo Terra Incubation Egg Box include:

Improved hatch rates: The Suspended Incubation Method helps enhance the success of hatching reptile eggs.

Capacity: The box can hold up to 12 eggs at a time, making it suitable for various reptile breeding projects.

Substrate-less Incubation: The design eliminates the need for substrate, making it easier to maintain the correct humidity levels for the eggs without the hassle of managing substrate moisture.

Consistent humidity: The incubation box ensures a constant and appropriate level of humidity for the developing eggs.

Hygienic incubation: By not using a substrate, the risk of mold growth on the eggs is reduced, promoting a healthier incubation environment.

Prevention of impaction: The suspended method removes the risk of hatchlings ingesting substrate, which could lead to impaction and potential health issues.

Safe and durable construction: The box is made from non-toxic food-grade polypropylene, ensuring the safety of the eggs and ease of cleaning and disinfection.

Integrated thermometer: The box includes an integrated thermometer, allowing easy monitoring of the internal temperature.

Transparent design: The clear incubation box allows for observation and monitoring of the eggs’ development without the need to open the lid.

Facilitates candling: The box’s design makes candling (the process of shining a light through the egg to observe its contents) easier.

Space-efficient: The rectangular shape of the box optimizes the use of space inside the incubator.

 

The Exo Terra Incubation Egg Box is an excellent tool for reptile breeders, providing a controlled and safe environment for incubating eggs, ultimately increasing the chances of successful hatching.
