SIM hatched Ackies

Jason hatches Yellow Ackies in SIM.. He writes, "

 

Hey John,

 

Here are those pics and the info you asked for.

The clutch of 6 eggs were incubated in a S.I.M. container ,completely over water in an incubator crafted out of a Styrofoam lined shipping box. A piece of polyethylene plastic wrap was used in place of the lid until the eggs started pipping

The first of the eggs was found pipping early on day 100 with 3 more following suit the next morning.

On day 102 the last 2 eggs pipped and the first 2 hatchlings emerged from their eggs.

By day 103 all 6 hatchlings were up and running.

Incubation temps fluctuated from 84F-86F

The weights/measurements of the eggs and hatchlings were not taken.

 

Jason"
