Well i hope theyre all fertile! From my first clutch, i think 1 is fertile and 1 i think might be infertile but obviously i will keep it incubated.

In other news i have made steps towards making my rack. Had a real ball ache finding the right size containers and still struggling to find some heat tape. I can only get it from America

Heat tape just simply is not available in the UK. I dont understand why. Only things you can get over here heat mats and heat strips. Heat mats obviously would be no good as i would need tons of them. And heat strips are really expensive for what they are. Basically a length of heat tape with a wire already attached.

How much do you pay for heat tape?

Heres where I got mine from:

I also got the "connection kit" and had them install it for me just to make things easy for me.

See, you can get 10 feet of heat tape for the same price it would cost me for 3 feet of heat strip which cant be cut down.

I looked on that site but appears i missed that they will ship internationally, will see how much its going to cost, thanks.

It would be so much easier if i lived over there

Even the containers have been a nightmare to find. Bet it took you 10 minutes in home depot

I do have Adblock Plus installed on my laptop. I turned it off for GU.

It's Malwarebytes Premium that's not letting me see Grabilla links. I can't disable that. The safety of my browsing depends upon it.
