tokay egg

Hey guys, i was just wondering whether it is ok to put a heating pad on the glass to heat the tokay egg up because the temperature isnt high in the enclosure. Probably around 70-75. I dont want the tokay egg to hatch in like 200 days because of low temperature.

We have bred tockay eegs at my work for over 4 years now and have had over 50 of em so far.

All we ever did was leave it alone .. I personally would NEVER put a heat pad on the window .. You could raise the over all temp a bit but heat pads arn't uniform usually and can heat up to quite high temps..

best advise I can give you when incubating is . leave it alone .. your only gonna make it worse by messing around with it

I have not been touching it. The only thing i have done to it is spraying it.

Spraying the egg can kill the egg....spray around it...

Ohoh. I have sprayed the egg at least 10 times. It is probably dead already.
