Need some Help

[Midwest Morphs]

I have been pairing my snakes for a while, and this year is my first year breeding. One of my females who I thought the other day looked as if she was possibly ovulating so I was going to get a incubator going, I had not see anything so far to show if anything was going to happen.

Well when I got home from work a bit ago there was a surprise. I have to get a incubator set up immediately, i have some flexwatt left over from an old rack I built.

How long does it take to get a incubator up to par, her cage is at 90 where they are sitting now and she moved her bowl back to the back of the cage so it is humid in her tub right now. How long do i have to get the incubator set up before any negative effect will happen to the eggs?

I don't know where I can get a thermostat this last minute I have a rheostat that i can use, but they need to be exact. I hope nothing gets messed up.

Would an chicken hovibator work?? I have a farm store I can probably run to get one if that would work.

Hi,

People have used hovabators in the past I think - but there was generally a recommendation to replace their inbuilt thermostat with a good reliable one.

Do a quick search on hovabator to see what peoples experience has been.

I would also call spyder robotics and see how quickly they or Rich at reptile basics could get a thermostat out to you.

You can also make emergency incubators out of fish tanks and fish tank heaters if you can incubate them well enough.

Is it a cooler type you were going to make with the flexwatt?

Anyone ever user a Labratory Incubator?

I found a american scientific products model IC-62 incubator on craiglist and was thinking about going to pick it up I was told it was 24x24x20 on the inside so I should be able to fit a couple boxes in there, supposed to hold heat well and go from 68 to 140 deg
