Is there water in the bottles too?
Re: how does everyone incubate?
hey so i could do that then. Now why do i see so many bp incubators with fans in them. I'd swear I read somewhere that bp eggs don't need a fan moving the air and that it could actually harm them. Someone please explain that to me.

The fans are needed to evenly distribute the warm air created by the heating element(s) in order to prevent temperature stratification.

No water in the bottles, it just has a little condensation from rinsing the rock before putting in the bottles.

Just to add to what Adam said, the eggs are also sealed in their own tub that contains the humidity. So the fan moves air that does not come in direct contact with the eggs.
Re: how does everyone incubate?
ah I got ya. So on another note do you have the fan wired with the flexwatt or on its own cord.

I had it wired seperately to a rheostat so I could control the fan speed.

Just a side note, the cooler incubator also works great as a animal transporter in colder weather. All you need is a power inverter and you can run this in your car. ;)

You're a genius Bill! Now all those truckers can incubate their BP eggs while on the road!:P

Re: how does everyone incubate?
How about temperature uniformity in a Hovabator? I can't think of a way to install a fan since the space inside is limited, but I am afraid of stratification now.. any ideas?
