    Incubator Recommendations

    Hi Guys,
    I am anticipating having at least 1 BP clutch and 1 corn snake clutch this year if all goes well. I am NOT handy really so I don't want to build an incubator, but I would like some suggestions as far as a high quality smaller incubator. Next season I am hoping to have more clutches so a little bigger is OK also.
    Thanks,
    Mike Kelly

    Re: Incubator Recommendations

    An incubator is the easiest thing to build even if you’re not handy. All you need is a cooler, drill, and a hot glue gun. Buy a big cooler from wall mart. Some heat rope from big apple herp supply. And a decent temp control. My incubator has a wired ranco because i got it for free. Works great.
    Mount the heat control to the top of the cooler. Drill a hole in the back and feed in the heat rope. run it back in forth along the sides hot gluing it in place.
    Drill another hole in the lid and place the temp probe. Keep it away from the heat rope. Hot glue all your drilled holes shut. Plug everything in and enjoy.
    Get some small tubs to put in your hatching medium and eggs.
