Breeding Monitors Part Ten: Egg incubation
In this, the final video in this ten part series, I discuss the incubation of monitor eggs. How to make your own incubator, different options for egg boxes to go into the incubator and troubleshooting issues you may encounter while incubating the eggs. I also discuss egg development and what is going on inside the egg.
Although this video is aimed at monitor breeders, most of the incubation techniques can also be applied to the eggs of other reptiles.
Key points in the video:
0:01:12 Overview
0:01:40 Collecting the eggs
0:07:04 Egg development
0:16:13 Egg requirements
0:18:30 Making an incubator
0:33:34 Egg boxes and incubation techniques - overview
0:34:07 Incubation on substrate
0:45:40 Suspension method of incubation
0:51:25 Troubleshooting

In this video we look at ovulation in monitors, which in reptiles happens after mating, not before. It is rarely documented in monitors and yet is an important thing to be able to observe, so in this video I explain what it is and the external signs that it is occurring.

Chimpanzee painting time-lapse

I was commissioned to do a portrait of the dominant male chimpanzee at our zoo for the primate curator's birthday. A time-lapse camera was set up to take one shot every minute minute and as this is playing at 25 frames per second, one second represents 25 minutes. The painting took 20 hours to complete. Unlike the dolphin painting in another of my videos I used a wash/glaze technique here with ...

This was very interesting and I have to say they are quite beautiful ❤️ this was enjoyable to watch. I hope they are still ok, i don't know their lifespan. ❤
Doesn't yellow usually mean venomous?
It often does, but usually in broad yellow and black bands. Not all lace monitors are as colourful as these.
I find it amusing that two of the smartest reptiles on this platform are both named Alex :}
What's the other Alex?
@@crocdoc2 Alex the African grey parrot
@@princevermilion8799 Aha, I was thinking that's who/what you had meant. Thanks.
@@crocdoc2 :)
All it takes is a lizard being named Alex to make me basically cry. I'm normal.
HE IS SO EXCITED TO GET OUT...
How would they react in front of a mirror?
This strange log keeps appearing before me
my dog loves this
Beautiful voice and melody
brilliant video, answered my curiosity big time!
Thank you!
1- Do we need to piece the glad wrap while putting holes in the top or only piece the lid? 2- How long have you changed from your put holes in the top of the lid to put the plastic grid?
1. There is no need to pierce the glad wrap as that would defeat the purpose (to keep moisture in). It allows enough gas exchange without holes. 2. I don't understand your second question - what plastic grid?
2- In your video show, I mean that plastic shelf under egg after you pick egg up perlite. 3- And one question sir, how long have you been kept eggs in perlite?
@@chandarithchoeurng7256 2 - Ah, I see now. I've always used the gladwrap + holes in the lid method, when I was incubating on perlite and then when I switched to incubating over water. 3 - I used perlite for around 8-10 years before switching to incubating over water, I think.
Is he a Parentie?
Lace monitors
@@crocdoc2 thank you, they look a bit similar! Beautiful lizards!
I remember my biology ‘teacher’ telling me “Reptiles are dumb!”…😂😂😂
Quite clear and nice job! I helped set up that particular park (Kakadu). It produced my present HATRED of mosquitoes (one night spent there in a new tourist camp I ended up with both forearms entirely covered in mossie bites (where they'd unintentionally touched the net)). I will never normally take life if I can possibly avoid it, but I make an exception with mosquitoes almost to a pathological level (these boundaries I know well ;P). In a later project I also watched a 20+ foot Saltwater croc walk past my bivouack in the middle of the night (someone had forgotten to refuel the generator that produced light and noise to keep the camp safer and such animals away...not me I'd hasten to add!).....it was just after a "party" so it wasn't really that surprising.
Thanks!

Hey esxcuse me what species of monitor is it ? :] I have a few questions if you dont mind
Lace monitor, Varanus varius.
I've just trained a 100% wild 15yr oldish lace monitor. First time ever, wow. Then next visit 4 months later trained him/her more and I've if it's going offspring. Such smart animals, they responded to tonality, movement and even words! Being a Master Jedi is required for these dangerous animals if in the wilderness. Domestic pets are very different to wild ones! ❤❤ Thank you
By domestic pets I presume you mean dogs and cats?
Imagine if animals go to youtube to what species we are based on jaw shape
I do this with my cat. Not a reptile sure, but people believe them to be untrainable. I wait for the right behaviour and then I give him a treat or brush him with his favourite brush. After awhile he realised I wanted him to mimique me, this made things easier. I can really recommend this to cat owners.
Me too many times m magpie do this at. 5am
i live in Australia 🦘
The Maggie's Warble Has Always Been The Real Song Of Australia!! Nothing On Earth Is So Redolent Of An Australian Morning!!!
I have his one of his offspring “Luigi” He doesn’t miss a beat either 😂🦖
Lizurd :D
We have a Magpie that visits us, she sits on our lap, and we can pat her.
They're made in Anaconda
Those are absolutely beautiful animals
He taught the monitors how to wave!
What's the difference, if eaten by a croc or a gator? 😱😱😱
This is the magpie "warbling" which they tend to do when they are by themselves. As you can see by his smooth feathers, and his wings being held normally, this isn't any kind of threat display. When they are defending their territory, they don't sound nearly as nice.
They are adorable
He will open that door next careful my bells Lace opened his sliding door twice. He gets let out daily.
The sliding glass doors of that enclosure had locks to avoid that.
@@crocdoc2 I know he is a great Dad to them Mine just hung out on the potted mango tree in Leny when he escaped.
When a reptile willingly climbs your arm or lets you pick it up like that it already trusts you
How cute! He's telling you he wants uppies! ❤
I think the rug preference shows the intelligence of the monitor, familiarity and comfort with this space. If the rug was not there, the floor may feel to cold for her to be comfortable and they would not mate on the floor at all. They definitely seem to prefer a somewhat large flat space. Her options are the floor of the enclosure or the floor outside the enclosure. The rug offers excellent grip for their claws with no obstacles and it's a soft insulating surface that will not feel cold. She has chosen the best option all things considered, clever girl.
All correct.
These things really train the owner. It makes you wonder WHO is the pet. 😮
hey can they bite? do they hav teeth?
Yes, extremely sharp teeth.
Magpies are bullies sometimes by swooping and attacking other birds to be honest.
Im an Aussie, and I love the magie call. It's so beautiful
Much nicer than the Eurasian Magpie, which sounds like someone shaking a box of Tictacs.
The lizards have trained their hoomon well.
dude, they're sooo cute!!!!
