Our Walk-In Ball Python Incubator!

We just turned on our incubator for the season and thought we would share some pics.

Last year we used this walkin but we only ran it on a Ranco and it kept shutting off for some reason. So this year we made a few adjustments!

We have a Johnson running at 89 degrees and then we have a Ranco running at 88 just in case the Johnson fails.
We also have a Temp. Alarm running so if the temps change by a degree it calls our phones. We have that hooked up to both the incubator and the main room!

Heres a couple shots.


Looking at the door with the johnson next to it.

The Johnson reads a little high so its not really 92 degrees it it around 89.5-90 all the time!

When you walk in you can see the back up Ranco on the far wall.

Heres a shot of the temp. alarm.
Top left is the furnace, bottom left is the auto dialer and the other two are the sensors one is running to the incubator and one is for the main room.

Thanks for looking!

Looks Great, Thanks for the photos. Best of Luck this Season.:gj:

WOW!!!

Thats an Incubator Room!

Thanks Guys! Its nice to be able to just walk in.

Looks good!!! How are you liking the temp alarm? Hopefully you wont have to use it though. I have thought about getting one.

WOW! That's awesome!!! :gj:

That is a very interesting idea on how to make one, I was wondering on how you are controlling your humidity though.

We like it a lot, we have had a couple times where our furnace has shut off because it ran out of propane and it called us both times!:gj:

We dont keep the room humid just the egg boxes!:gj:

Wow.....impressive!!

So is your whole facility including the incubator heated by a furnace? Or do you heat the incubator with the oil heater and the facility with the furnace?

Facility has its own furnace and the incubator has the radiator in the picture.

i have the perfect closet for this, but i dont know about how much it wil cost on the electric bill!

VERY VERY NICE by the way!

That is AWESOME! I think if I asked my husband if I could convert a walk in closet (I'm assuming) into an incubator it would push him over the brink! I have an extra bedroom for my collection, I think I'll take what I can get :rolleyes:

Looks great! Best wishes for your season. Thank for sharing. I'll keep dreaming :D

very nice very nice, looks terrific!

Thanks everyone for the nice comments!

Very impressive!

I bet if the closet was insulated well, including the doorway, it wouldn't be that bad. Plus it might not be running year round (depending on your breeding projects).

AWESOME incubator!! It looks so professional! :gj:. Did you install the thermostats and alarms yourself? If so, is it very complicated or could someone with basic wiring knowledge do it?

Thanks! We did all the wiring ourselves...it was fairly easy of course you need to know a little about wiring but for the most part it was pretty simple! Im a neat freak so everything had to perfect so I had to do all the wiring myself!:D

I thknk ill try it out n see how it goes.

but it wil be no where near as ellaborate or nice!
