I have a Hovabator that I use on my chicken eggs when I don't have a broody hen. Can I use this to incubate corn eggs??

if so, do I use it the same way as I do for the chicken eggs, ie: water in the bottom, or should I put wet vermiculite in the bottom when incubating snake eggs??
 
I used a hovabator this year and I put water in the bottom and the eggs in containers with hatchrite, vermiculite will work also but I had a great hatch ratio with the hatchrite only 2 went bad out of 72 good eggs. Good luck
 
hey! I hatched corns with a hova bator this year and it worked great! I had the eggs in little tuppaware containers with vermiculite and also poured water into the bottom for extra humidity. I had 2 eggs die, one slug (which probably was just a late bloomer but I didn't know they hatched at different rates at the time). So out of 15 eggs I got 12 healthy babies :)
 
awesome, thanks!! Also what is the right temp/humidity levels for corn eggs. So far my searches are bring up the "averages" for "snake eggs"!!!
 
Honestly, we had no idea what we were doing when we had these guys, I couldn't tell you what humidity we had, but I know the temp we incubated at was 82. They cooked for 63 days at that temp. It was an unexpected clutch that a cornsnake my ex had laid, so it was thrown together quickly.
