    Do the incubators come with manuals? how much does an average incubator cost?

    Ok this is what a hovabator incubator looks like.The first pic is how it looks like on the outside.I plug them in about a month ahead of my expecting any eggs and i make sure the temps are still correct.You have to add a little water in a bottom tray for the humidity and i add just a little water in the containers containing the eggs.I use vermiculite for the eggs to set inside of the containers. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...s/IMG_1389.jpg

    This pic shows the heating elements inside the hovabator.Once i have the temps set it will stay at that temp just like your home furnace does. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...s/IMG_1391.jpg

    Well the hovabators i use are actually sold as incubators for chicken eggs lol.You can buy these same ones sold as reptile incubators just a little higher price.I spent $40 on each one i have(3) and this will be my 3rd year using them.
