To incubate the Heloderm eggs I use a incubator from the german company Grumbach. Fiest I disinfect the egg containers, then I fill then half full with distilled water, then a wire mesh, and on top of that I place filter wadding so the eggs dont roll around. The tempture I set at 27° C The incubation takes 155 days. At the end of the incubation time the eegs will collapse. Then you need patience, eventhough the babies have opened the eggs with there eggteeth it can be up to a couple of days befor they completely slip.
It is better when the young are raised separately, then grow faster and will eat better. I fee my baby Helos at first nest young mice dipped in egg yolk. Later with young mice or new born rats.
