incubator suggestions

[mcclure91]

Any suggestions on incubators? I used to have a hova bator when i breed corn snakes but sold it when i got out of that hobby. I wasnt really to fond of it looking for something a little nicer. I like the front loading style and was looking at the reptipro 6000 from incubators.org or something like it. It will be just a small breeding project i have 3 soon to be 4 beardies all about 6-8 months old and will be waiting a year to start breeding just buying some supplies now.

Hot Box makes a super nice incubator, but I don't think they cool and are fairly expensive. The hovabator is the most economical, so it really boils down to how much you want to spend.

Does it hold temp very well im just affraid getting one that doesnt hold the same temp very well

yes temp and humidity... it also has an alarm and starts blinking if the temp goes over whatever you set it, for example right now i have my beardies eggs in set at 84 and if i dont want it to go over 86 i can set it so that it starts blinking if it gets to 86 or above, but it has not done that !!. I bought mine at t
lllreptile.

Oh sry I thought we were talking about the reptipro sry my mistake. But ive looked at that one as well but I think it was a little more expensive and I have read a few bad reviews. Have you successfully hatched any eggs yet?
