SuperHatch

SuperHatch Incubation Media Our SuperHatch is an Advanced Incubation Medium that allows for easy Moisture Monitoring (it Changes Color) and is Indefinitely Reusable. Great for Gecko Eggs. INFORMATION: This is a course grade ceramic product (Calcined Clay). It has excellent porosity and is the next generation in egg incubation media. It does not break apart over time, does not compact, or float. Its color changes based on the amount of water it contains so you can easily monitor visually for changes in moisture level. It can be re-used indefinitely by cooking or boiling to sterilize. An inert, neutral, 100% natural mineral blend, this product lasts year after year without breaking down. INFORMATION: SuperHatch has extreme porosity combined with very fine internal structure size. This allows SuperHatch to absorb and hold large amounts of water, with a very slow rate of evaporation. This helps control the quick release of water which causes surface moisture and condensation. Instructions: Place SuperHatch in a sieve, strainer, or in a porous bag. Soak in water for a few minutes, remove and let drip dry. Add SuperHatch to your incubation container, filling it approx. 1/2 full. Add eggs, and you are good to go! Saturating the SuperHatch and letting it drip dry is a suitable mixture for most species. Some species require less moisture in the container, and this can be easily accomplished by taking the saturated SuperHatch and mixing back in a % of dry SuperHatch. You can also mix SuperHatch with water on a weight / weight, or volume / volume ratio to get the required moisture level. Always use the largest feasible incubation container possible. A minimum recommended size is a 16 oz. container for a pair of gecko eggs, and a shoebox size container for 10 - 20 eggs. The more volume in the container, the less drastic environmental changes can effect the conditions inside the container. Ingredients: 100% Arcillite. CAUTION: Do not swallow. Avoid contact with eyes, open sores, or cuts. Wash Hands after use. Keep out of reach of children. Refrigeration will extend freshness NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION

Orders generally arrive by 12:00 PM

FedEx Drivers WILL NOT wait for you to come to the door.
Generally speaking, FedEx will quickly knock or ring the doorbell, and leave your
package near your front door. While this sometimes seems crazy to people who are new to having reptiles shipped to them, but this is industry standard. We purposely do not require signature, as we do not want to risk having reptiles go back on a hot (or cold) truck for the rest of the day, in the event you don't make it to the door in time. This is for the safety of the reptiles. Although we don't require a signature for delivery, we can still obtain GPS delivery coordinates and other information when needed, in order to determine where a package was left and verify delivery.
