    thoughts on it? or maybe this incubator vs. lllreptile mr-148 vs. reptibator. preferably people who have one but I'll take any info I can because I can't seem to find any besides the usual spec sheet. :)

    thanks!

    i have the same thing basically from big apple supplies. their are many different types but they are all the same thing. i havent used it for eggs yet but i plugged it in for a week and it worked pretty good. the top stayed at 89 and if it dropped by 1 then it turned on again. the bottom is usually 1-2 degrees cooler tho. im trying to put a small fan inside to see if that will work. its only big enough for 2 small clutches, maybe a third. but for something you just plug in set and forget its not too bad. im gonna try Kemps incubator one day and build my own to see the difference

    yeah that's basically what I'm looking for I just didnt want the bator w/ t-stat and was looking into the Exo terra one it seems a little bigger and humidity and temp gradient seems fantastic from what I've read.

    I have a similar, from Lucky Reptile, but as mentioned, they're all the same. If you want something accurate this is NOT the thing. It will easily swing 5 degrees during the day! I have had 3 of them, so I know what I'm talking about. Even when they are somehow accurate, the temp. from buttom to top will swing quite a lot. The strange thing is, that some days they're are very accurate, some days they're not.

    If you need it for Red Bull it's fine, if you need it for reptile eggs, buy something else:)

    Only good thing about it, and the reason why I use one, is it can cool! The cooling fan works just fine, will probably work even in hell:)
