Question:
Which is a better choice for water pipes, lead or copper?
Hi there, I wondering if anyone could come up with a reasonable answer and explanation for this question.Both copper and lead have been used to make water pipes. Which metal would be a better choice?
Answer:
Hi, please DON'T slit eggs, your pythons will all have a special egg tooth on their snout to do this and will hatch in their own time. It is quite normal for python mothers to arrange eggs into a rough cone shaped heap in the wild and I copy this when I incubate eggs with high success and have had no problems with the eggs at the bottom and yes your medium will discolor the eggs, hope this helps ease your worries.

The Romans used lead. But it is extremely hazardous, they encountered health problems from it leaching into the water supply. By around the latter 19th. century, lead was only still in use for traps under sinks/ bathtubs etc., and gas connections, including gas pipes for gas lighting in houses. The term plumber is derived from the Latin word for lead, Plumbum. Copper is far less hazardous, but soldered connections are now frowned upon due to the lead content of solder. Silver brazing has broadly been adopted to replace solder, but some silver brazing alloys contain antimony, another poison. However antimony free silver brazing alloys are available. Another replacement is a solder composed of around 95% tin, and 5% silver. Silver alloy brazing has the advantage of needing minimum preparation, unlike soft solders, which require careful metal preparation and a flux to be effective. Plastics are tending to supplant copper these days, due to ever increasing copper costs.
We in basic terms were given achieved replacing a %important line in our the front backyard 2 summers in the past, because the pine tree roots cracked the %. What we replaced it with is a sparkling coaxial pipe with plastic contained in the middle (for the water bypass), surrounded by technique of versatile copper (to carry the pressure), surrounded by technique of demanding plastic to maintain flexibility and seem after the copper. it really is what i'd propose. something else of my domicile is plumbed in copper. I continually enable the water 'run' for some seconds because I surely have a situation (albiet very mild) about the lead from the solder joints leaching into the water flow. .
COPPER. Lead will result in lead poisoning and mental problems. Never use lead pipe for potable water. TexMav
if the eggs are being incubated leave them k yes there should be a greyish colour thats normal k yes the bottom ones will be able to get u need to relax everything sounds fine k dont worry just never turn the eggs as this will result in death k
