Breeding Monitors Part Ten: Egg incubation

In this, the final video in this ten part series, I discuss the incubation of monitor eggs. How to make your own incubator, different options for egg boxes to go into the incubator and troubleshooting issues you may encounter while incubating the eggs. I also discuss egg development and what is going on inside the egg.

Although this video is aimed at monitor breeders, most of the incubation techniques can also be applied to the eggs of other reptiles.
