not so happy

Well our dang cat cooked our rat snake eggs. We got home and found the incubator set at nearly 100 and her laying on top of it. That was yesterday today after doin some math I looked at them and noticed that they were goin flat checked the dates and noticed it was about hatch time opened them up and out of all of the eggs 1 was still alive

Re: not so happy

Cats are jerks....

At least one lived. Hope it stays alive and well.

Re: not so happy

Thats to bad, I hope the one little guy makes it! I would make sure that next time you breed the incubator is kept in a room the cat is not allowed in.

Re: not so happy

Sorry to hear that!! Cat's can be a big pain in the ***!!!

hubby is building my rack system out of an old entertainment stand with closing cabinet doors, top and bottom.

I have a cat too!! Maybe I'll have him build a spot into it for the incubator so that doesn`t happen here!!

Re: not so happy

Sorry to hear about your eggs. Hope the little one makes it. If the one does make it you should name it Hot Stuff.

Re: not so happy

I was going to make a joke about using a few kitchen items and turning the cat into a short-term incubator.... but I think the best advice might be to keep your incubator in a cabinet with closing doors.

Re: not so happy

Well yesterday I did contemplate broken glass on top of it I was not a happy bunny! Nor was I this morning lookin at very cute dead babies. I really hope this one makes it! We were planning on selling them but now I think we will keep it as our first born snakey

Re: not so happy

So the poor thing is still having a hard time correcting itself when turned upside-down should we be worried?

Re: not so happy

Give it time, but getting cooked could have possibly played havoc on the wee ones brain.

Re: not so happy

Maybe, maybe not...if I were you, though, I'd take as hands-off approach as possible for these critical first few weeks. Gosh, I sure hope the little guy makes it
