Incubator...

[Pravius]

Have any of you ever used this or heard anything about it? It's stylish and would fit perfect in my room, but before I invest like $250 into it I was hoping someone may have used it or had some info on it.

i dont have any experience with this incubator but i do want to point out you are paying a lot of money just for the looks. Per its interior diminsions you cant fit near as many eggs as you can in a havobator.

ha I know.. I noticed that too.. $250 in this economy is alot especially since I can get another Hova for like under $50 right now.. but marketing is king!!!!
:twisted:

i dont know i think the deciding factor would be financial return/functionality. The havobator is 40-50 bux on lllreptile and can easily hold 80 or more eggs. This one is 250 and may hold 40 (crammed). Just my .02 cents

It's true, and good business sense! I appreciate the reality check!

A pretty package doesnt always hold pretty contents.
I have only used hovabators, and in 4 years ive hatched about 400 poopers. Almost 200 this year alone. So Hova gets my endorsment.

They actually have an amazing deal right now through LLL for like $35 for a Hova...

Check out the dimensions on that thing... it's puny I built my refridgerator incubator for under 200 and I'll never run out of room Seems like a lot of money for the cubic inches that thing has.
