So I was going through my youtube videos and watched this short clip from 2014 of some eggs hatching using maternal incubation. With so many clutches coming this year, I’m going to let several of the females maternally incubate the eggs and I’m going to post weekly update videos about the process.
Everything from laying, the females eating while incubating their eggs, the pre hatch shed, and eventual hatching will be documented on my youtube channel! It’s going to be a fun project that not many people have seen, let alone experienced.
In 2013 I hatched roughly 23 clutches of eggs successfully using maternal incubation and in 2014, I had 10 or 12 MI and hatched 10 using artificial incubation. (I’d have to go back to the hard copy of my data, I can’t remember off the top of my head.)
Anyway, stay tuned!
