Hello gecko-enthousiasts;
First of all thanks to the people which gave me some info about incubators!
I am planning to build an incubator within a styrofoam box where they
transport tropical fish in.
I want to heat this with 4 very low wattage light bulbs (like refrigerator
bulbs),
controlled by a thermostat.
I wonder if the on- and off switching from the bulbs, controlled by the
thermostat would be harmfull for the incubation of the eggs (I mean a
constant light-dark switching).
Does anybody know something about the influence of an unnatural light-dark
surrounding to the incubation and hatching proces of gecko eggs?
Another option I thought about was to use a dimmer in stead of a thermostat,
but
then there are some small temperature fluctuations.
You can set the dimmer to the desired level, but there are always some
changes in the room temperature.
What would be the best method to use?
Schould it perhaps be better to use red bulbs in stead of the regular ones?
What is the best temperature to set the dimmer or thermostat, I know that
the
sex of the hatchlings is dependent on the temperature, but what are those
temperatures to incubate leopard gecko eggs?
Thanks a lot in advance and friendly greetings
Peter Wauters
