"So far two are out.  Seven more to go in this clutch. 109 days at 86.2 with perilite drenched like you mentioned."

Hi John & Gregg !
 
 My first Hog pipped today in a Sim.  Was having problems with temps, had to move them to 3 different rooms 3  times.  Just like the three bear's , too hot , too cold,  the kitchen was just right !!  Most of the time they were at 78 to 81 f .  They were laid on 5/25/10  today is 7/18/10  so 54 days to first pip.  Not bad guys !!
  The forum on your site keeps jamming up on me for hours , just frozen. If it worked, I might have found out what I was doing wrong , with drilling holes, or vermiculate, and the amount of water. But the SIM still got the job done, even with see through eggs, and yellow eggs with no veins, that after 8 days got veins and are still good. 
 
 
Here are some pics of the first pip !

Thought you might like an update.

The Coastal Plains Milk Snake eggs are hatching (57 days).  The S.I.M. container did not speed up the hatching time.  Fifty-five to sixty days is typical for Lampropeltis species of milk snakes. There is one additional issue that could be a problem with the S.I.M. container. These babies are very small and luckily were able to cleanly pass through the grate to the substrate below. Babies slightly larger would probably get stuck and possible die. Perhaps a S.I.M. container with much smaller grate openings i.e. a container specifically designed for small milk snakes might be in order.  Half the babies are out the shell so far and several still thinking about it. Some of them have quite the attitude.  See the attached photos.

Photo #6 is of the eggs when first put into the incubator. If you recall the S.I.M. container did not work very well initially (could not get the humidity high enough at first) but with a few modifications (discussed in previous e-mails) it worked very well.  Photo #20 is of the eggs hatching. The rest of the photos are of the babies that hatched so far.

Hope you found my comments the past few months useful.

Hello.

I hatched out my first Australian Gecko with the S.I.M.

Strophurus Taenicauda "white eyed" ( Golden Tail Gecko )

S.I.M. Container

Home Made Incubator ( Wine Cooler )

Substrat Perlite with more Water than ususal.

Temp: 80,00 °F

Incubation Time: 66 Days

Just hatched out my first amel fattail in the S.I.M.

Laura recently hatched a couple of Crested Geckos in the SIM. Her data is listed below:

Repashy Superhatch Incubator media
No holes drilled, just opened the lid once a week
Incubated 74-76 degrees- 67 days

Shannon Plummer in Australia hatched V. a. acanthurus in the SIM recently. 

She writes, 

"I had six successfully hatch out of eight eggs.  The other two were almost fully developed however died in the egg with a substantial amount of yolk still present and both with only nubs for tails.   They were incubated at around 32˚C with the first hatching after 86 days and the last at 90 days.  Humidity ranged from 90-99% throughout the incubation."

Ron Kestel hatches V. tristis tristis in the S.I.M. on 12/24/09... data to follow...
