what is the best heating pad for reptiles on the market2007-11-24 2:03:34

working on incubating 11 red eared slider eggs - 3rd year in a row, but the temp. these days is colder outside. They are inside in vermiculite and peet moss and they have another 20 days to hatch, they are forming, but the temp is dropping from 86 degrees to 79 degrees. Any suggestions?

Answers:

I have used a hovabator incubator to successfully incubate red ear eggs.

I used a sunbeam heating pad from wal-mart for my chameleons and iguanas. Works great, just slid it under the tank in one corner.

I can't say that i know anything about incubating eggs..but your best honest bet is to ask a pet shop because a lot of them do their own breeding or are used to answering questions about that.sorry i could give you any straight answers

I would get an enclosed container such as a styrofoam cooler, and add flexwatt heat tape. Search Engine "Incubating" and you will find quite a few how-tos
