Incubator recommendations

[koiboydavid]

I was hoping some of you experienced breeders could recommend an incubator that you would like. I am really looking for one that is easy to set up and calibrate. I know Hovabator seems to be commonly used but I have read some postings that say it may not be the easiest. If you do like the Hovabators, which one, the thermal or turbo fan(or whatever they call it). I am not looking to have more than 3-4 clutches a year.

Thanks in advance!

Havobator 1602N, this is the thermal model and is the cheapest they offer... I've used this for almost 4 years now without a single issue, and once I dialed the temperature in I've never had to adjust it again, regardless of the season.

It's $39.99 at http://www.lllreptile.com, I highly recommend it as it's easy to set up and it's a simple design that will work forever...

Thanks Anthony! I just placed my order. What type of container(or containers) do use to put your eggs in?

Thanks again!

I prefer deli cups since that's what I originally started with but tupperware containers also work really well! Just make sure you have your containers ventilated properly... I like to have at least 8 small holes on the sides of the cup/container to allow good air circulation, and I have a few holes in the lid as well.

Best of luck, and if all goes well you'll be a grand parent in 2 months!
