Just got eggs....help....

Personally,ive never heard anything good about exoterras. Before i lucked out and got a mini fridge inc, i was gonna use a hovabator and remove the built in wafer t-stat they come with and add my own. Another cheap(but iffy) suggestion, since time is short you could get a small cooler...add water and an aquarium heater and small shelf to place inside to hold egg tub. The aquarium heater will heat the water and inside of the tub creating an incubator.

To have mom incubate, even though shes doing the work...YOU have to make sure you provide her with the correct conditions and materials for a solid two months for her to properly incubate.

P.S.- These are just suggestions, im a first year breeder myself. Im just replating info ive come across here n there. Rich is MUCH more experienced.

Hes no longer using the Exoterra heating setup just the unit. He would be supplying his own heat and thermostat, which will work better than what was there originally that broke.

Drill a hole just big enough toget cord out, then Seal it with Tape

the door shuts with the cord coming out by the door handle..

as long as its closed well so no air can come in affecting temps your fine. Give it few hours to settle in temps and your fine


Since this is only one clutch and small incubator dont worry about using a fan

Fish heaters are cheap, and have temp dials that are pretty precise, since we need our water to be specific..

Thanks Rich i was just gonna ask about the fan....i ripped out the one that was there....

Cant get the heat up ...........the thermostat is set at 100 and the temp is 80...I have a big apple herpstat and the high temp on it is 110....dont want to max it out....

What size heat are you using, Might not have enough
