Hello all. I have an Incuview https://incubatorwarehouse.com/incuv...incubator.html and I'm wondering if it would work for ball python eggs? Obviously, with the turner removed.
Could I just fill up the bottom with substrate and put the eggs in? Every tutorial always assumes you have a giant incubator and so says to put the eggs into little tubs. What if I just treat the whole thing like it's one 'tub'?
On one website, they said not to use an incubator with a fan because it would dry the eggs too much (this incubator has a fan), but I can't find any other mention of 'no fans' anywhere else... not to mention the fan is the only reason there aren't hotspots/coldspots. I used a Styrofoam Hovabator incubator with no fan a few times for chicken eggs, and the temp spikes were intense and out of control... like going from the desired 99 degrees to spikes of 105 multiple times a day, dropping down to low 90s before the heater would kick on:taz:... Needless to say, my hatchrates were abysmal in that thing.
I've used the Incuview previously for duck and chickens eggs, so I know it holds temps steady very well. I can set the temps to literally any setting to 1/10 of a degree, and it even has a hatchday countdown which I really like (also can be set to literally any number). So setting it at 89.5 degrees and 60 days is possible.
