    Eco Terra Incubation Unit

    Hey guys, first off I was just wondering if I had this thread in the right section? Ok now to the question have any of you had any experience with the Exo Terra Incubation Unit (for some reason the link I put doesn't seem to be working) because I am hoping to produce my first clutch this winter/spring.
    thanks

    I posed the same question about that exo terra about 6 months ago and most of the responses were its way too small for Python eggs. Another member here " Diaggia" recently used it . A much better product is Zoo Meds "REPTIBATOR " bc it has a built in proportional thermostat. I just used it recently and it is a fantastic product that is very reliable and is used by a few zoological institutions and other reptile facilities.
    Stay in peace and not pieces.

    I've got one of these and I don't like it. temps are NOT stable and they would spike and drop all the time. It's collecting dust right now in the corner of my herp room. I would go with a hovabator before one of these (which I HAVE successfully hatched many clutches in) Usually if you're going to do this more often, a homebuilt unit is usually your best bet.

    I would look into a Nature Spirits Incubator. You can get them for $475 shipped and they are outstanding quality. I wouldn't buy cheap when Incubating your BP eggs.

    So the Reptibator is big enough for python eggs? Because in the pic on amazon it looks like they are incubating leopard gecko eggs.
