It's not the heat its the 100% humidity in my incubator at all times and the resultant water running down the walls.:)

Even on battery power it doesn't sound like a good idea.

the bator doesn't need to be that humid, inside of a sealed egg box is where the magic happens!


a sealed egg box, a good mix of vermiculite and a good stat and your golden.

i've learned the ways straight from the jedi himself:bow:

I use blue versions in my salt water tanks...after a couple of years they have salt all over them are constantly wet and still work...I wouldn't worry about the humidity. :)

Yup.


This my old incubator - I do plan to replace it though.

At the moment all my egg boxes have mesh sections in the lids and in theory I could dipense with the vermic and just use egg crate for them to sit on in the boxes.

Keeping my eyes peeled for old glass fronted fridges as I wander the highways and byeways. :)

Gin,
a peek window is key, they really help out. I have one cut into the door of my freezer. You just eed to cut a small square and glue on a piece of plexi glass.. you can get it cheap at lowes, they will cut it to size for you.

.. you cant keep peeking or the temps are going to never equal out and you will be chasing your tail.

condensation is not bad unles it is dripping on you eggs. Once everything stabalizes the humidity will decrease some, but you have to stop letting out all of that air that has already heated up. With incubators that open from the top like yous does, hot air comes rushing out and cool room air will come pouring in. So no more peeking.. use the force, trust your thermometers

good luck... keep us posted

ok :) Today it is 87 at the helix probe and 87 in the tub! I peeked in Slightly and there is still condensation, but i was not thinking that it'd disappear magically or something.

Why? The people on this thread have been very helpful and indsepensable with helping me out here.. it is not like I can call someone with verbal instructions/help with my stupid cell phone (Razr's get the worst signal on earth..)
Threads that hurt my head personally, are those filled with misspelled words, Internet "speak" and blurry photos.

This has been a very educational thread. I hope to refer to it when I start breeding in a couple of years.
