1. you should see that.

2. you could get that.

3. incubation preparation
the weight of substrate to water is about 5:1 (maybe lower)
I show the number below is wrong. it's just for photo.

Mix them you get the incubation substrate. But I won't mix them all.

I will use syringe to put the water to the button.

Hova incubator.

I use Hova incubator, but I don't use it's auto-heating system
I use heat tape to continue heating to maintain Temp to about 33~35*C
About humidity , out side the eggs container the water is filled so it's humidity is very high.
But in the container the humidity is very low , the weight of substrate : water about 5:1
almost dry, I also put the mix in the button and a little dry substrate on it
But in the late phase, especially when babies is coming out, I will add humidity or put some well moistened paper towel with the eggs.

I remove the auto-heating. because I think that it isn't sensitive
I use heat tape to continuing heating. I suggest you should do long time (several days) to decide the heat tape length to determinate the temp.
I suggest the temp is 35*C(not over 36*C ,below to 32*C is ok, but it will take more time).

Fill water full to the button water container.

4. you will get the babies
2006 Ornatus CB.

I got 37 Sudanese Uromastyx babies this year,2007(success incubate rate is 37/39), and 5 Rainbow Benti babies, I lost 9 eggs because of the female laid eggs in the sand.
