I have read a Ron about the incubating process and I‘ve never seen anyone do what am about to ask about, so I understand if it‘s just a plain bad idea. Okay here goes: can I have an open top styrophone container with a heat lamp hub above it? I would adjust the distance of the lamp to get the right temp. The eggs could either be sitting on the right substrate and just have an open top. Or would it be better for the eggs to have a lid, in that cad though the eggs would end up getting water drops from the humidity. Thanks for helpful answers. Even though this seems like a very unexpirenced question, I would like you to know I‘m not a beginner with reptiles at all. Just with DIY incubators.
Admittedly, I know more about incubating chicken eggs( and lizard eggs may be a little different). Ventilation IS important with ANY egg, and a Lizard egg is no exception though it may be more tolerant of higher heats as they often tend to live in hot, dry habitats. Too, though it is hot during the day, arid places often get some moisture at night (be it condensation or a VERY occassional rain. I suspect a little condensation from a lid on your incubator would be harmless. It is probably a good idea to have some limited humidity along with good ventilation anyway. Too as I believe sand is a natural media and substrate normal for eggs of this nature, it might be a good idea to use as it helps to maintain a more consistent incubating temperature . I suspect too that you don't want things getting too hot with the heat lamp thing though (as eggs can literally cook too). A thermometer and regulating lid and heat lamp distance advised. Too, there may be a warm and cool cycle involved with lizard eggs (like sun during day/cool at night), but again maybe sand tempers that to remain more consistent temp wise as sand will retain heat for a time. Don't know if this was much help, but I wish you luck. peace.
I would be cautious of cheap tires ,my sportster came with Dunlop's and when it came time to replace I went with the Metzler M880 Marathon's they were a better tire in all riding conditions over the Dunlop's ,currently I have Avon Venoms on it and thats all I put on my bike anymore I found them to be a lot better then the Metzlers, both of these brands will give you around 8,000 miles on a set ,however the Dunlops will give you around 12,000 miles I just didn't like how they handled in the rain compared to the Avons and the Metzler's which handle a lot better
stock 07 softail classic, got 10k from the back Dunlop. Fellow rider recommended Metzler for replacement. have 6k on and looking really good, found it to be a better handling tire. Suggest Mezler for your Sporty. Got mine at Wheelworks in Garden Grove, CA. Cycle Gear another source.
I would like to throw my two cents worth in, first off, if you buy those tires, you will have two thing happen, one you will be very disappointed, two, you might end up sliding on your backside. I used to own a HD Softail Springer, Dunlops on it, unhappy with wet/tracking ridges of the tires, went with Continental, way long wearing, but hard as rocks, very poor wet weather tire, I live in Indiana so went with Metzler 880s by recommendation. I now have big cruiser, as soon as Dunlops wore out I went straight to the Metzlers. They will not have the mileage of the Dunlops or Conties,(I am getting 10,000 on a full dresser) but they handle in wet, and rough roads are no problem either. People are recommending them for a reason(Metzlers) they are good tires for street riding!
