This will act as the door to your incubator.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\">\n<li>Heat source configuration:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Install small light bulbs or heat lamps across the top or sides of the bottle. Make sure they are secure and evenly distributed for consistent heating.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remember, the goal is to maintain a constant temperature of approximately 99.5\u00b0F (37.5\u00b0C).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"3\">\n<li>Ensuring egg stability:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Place a foam or egg carton inside the bottle.
