Why I use perlite rather than vermiculite and why I stopped using koi filter mats many years back. Also has the water/substrate ratio for mixing perlite.
Great video mate very informal at the end 😂😂😂 can I ask what tubs are they and do you put any holes in them for ventilation because I've got no clue on egg boxes thanks again
Scott before i like and share have not had previous payment for liking the other vlogs lol. Good to know about the bad eggs as i was wondering what to do if i got one while Maternal Incubating cheers bud :)
Brilliant video Scott, that is a knife to make the Predator shiver. Is egg cutting more of a curiosity thing for breeders (especially those that are on YT) or is it something that should be done as a matter of course.
Thanks. Yep, I did actually cut myself with the bloody thing. Personally I don’t see the need for it, I would imagine for every baby that is saved, 2 more are killed by bad cutting somewhere else. I’ll be honest, I cut due to excitement. Curiosity, that’s it. I probably cut less than 10% of my clutches.
Good Info Scott. Great videos coming out from you. Could you add the info of where you get your deli cups for the holders. I have loads of the holders and cannot find the deli cups that fit nice. Thanks in advance.
Another great video. Putting in too much water is definitely how I killed my retic eggs. As soon as you said about them going green, the penny dropped. 👍
LOL - love the add at the end ! - Scott, what made you stop using the egg crate suspension method and start placing the eggs directly in the perlite, especially if the suspension method is foolproof?
Thanks 😀 I stopped using it because it’s real hard to clean all the egg embryonic fluid off etc. Used it for a few years while I still had less than 100 clutches but just wanted something faster, and less cleaning required.
@@CaptiveBredUK Ah... I took it that it was the pond matting that was the issue not the crate... Are he tubs you use air tight, or is there a gap that allows some air through ?
Sorry, my misunderstanding, yes it was the filter matting I stopped, I never really used the egg crate on any scale, too much setting up, plus I did once get a hatchling stuck in one of the holes.
🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the great videos and I love the advertisements at the end!
Thanks Joe.
🤣🤣🤣🤣👌🏼
Ok ok your cute in this one

Thanks.
They are 9ltr wham storage boxes, available from Amazon.
No additional holes put in them.
Decent video that mate. Put me down for a knife, shouldn’t catch any vessels with one of those! 😂😉
Loving your videos, learning something new every video
🤣🤣🤣 Great video.

Payment in coffee mate 😉
Yeah, if a bad egg is loose, then sure remove but don’t rip clutches apart to do so.

Great video again Scott, maybe worth considering a chainsaw instead of the machete though mate 😁
Thanks mate, Duly noted 😎

Shame, but yep it’s all too easy to put too much in. That’s why I like perlite.
