Incubator options

You can't go wrong with a home made cooler incubator IMO. Best bang for the buck.

I just picked up a big apple herp safety hatch incubator and it holds 12 6qt. sterilite tubs. Its a little pricey but it comes with a thermostat and hols a lot of bins.

Here are some more suggestions if you are not the DIY type

If you are DIY type than this (That is what I did now I need something bigger though) http://www.eyehit.com/degei/supportf.../inc/index.htm

A 4 cubic foot mini fridge holds four 6 qt tubs, holds temps awesome, and the best bang for the buck in small incubators.

The mini fridge held within 1 degree temperature kept in a closet(stable environment) and I was quite impressed for the cost.

I picked up my fridge off of craigslist for free, and it was basically new not working shape.

I believe total I had $75 into it :)

I guess I never realized what little went into making an incubator. I'll start hunting for a non working freezer now. :D

Jake sells some awesome incubators!

This year I used a closet with a plastic shelving unit in it and heat tape down the back. Perfection!

Look at the DIY forum and you can get great ideas to make incubators CHEAP.

I second http://www.jwexotics.com/incs.html incubators!

So is it basically 1 clutch to one shoebox tub? Or how does that work exactly.

I am going to be using an old wine cooler that is broken and I can fit in 5 tubs and I wasn't sure how many eggs that would hold. I am only expecting around 5 clutches if everything goes ideally/

I know you're not supposed to unclump the ball of eggs, but I wasn't sure if multiple clutches would fit in one tub. Can someone clear this up for me?
