Well the tegus are still in their courtship phase of breeding (meaning hes trying and shes refusing lol) so I got started on my homemade incubator(the reptastic pro 10001 lol) got a wine fridge, installed 2' of 11" flexwatt heat tape, running up the back, its connected to a hydrofarm thermostat (set to 88 * f ), to make it safe I sealed the connectors off with electric tape and then filled them with silicone to insure no water can get to the wires, then I installed a cpu fan at the center of the bottom to allow aeration and circulation of the heat, its powered by a simple ac cord spliced on both ends and sealed with electric tape, next are the containers for the eggs, im using 6 52oz storage containers that looks to hold about 6 eggs each, inside each one im using hatchrite medium, 3 of them I added a little water and 3 as is for a test run, of course ill need a few more containers, heres a few pics and a video I made
