A couple incubator questions.

Hey all,

Just wondering what thermostat most of you use on your incubators?
And what size containers do you keep the eggs in? I know a lot use the 6qt. tubs, anyone use anything else?

thanks,

Dave

helix, 6qt tubs

6.5 qt, Herpstat

Larger tubs for my tics and burms...But Herpstat all time for me...

herpstat, 6 qt is smallest size I use.

Herpstat and 6qt Sterilites. :)

Thanks for all the replies! :gj: I'm working on making an incubator out of an 120qt. cooler and I'm trying to figure out how many egg tubs I can get in it. Going with 6qt. tubs, I can get 5 tubs, which is good enough for now! I'm going to have the cooler stand on one end and have 5 shelves in it (kinda like a fridge).

Thanks,

Dave

what are u heating it with, just curious?

Herpstat. I would also suggest a backup t stat to whichever one you use, you will thank yourself if the lead stat failed

I will be using 3 feet of 11" FLEXWATT controlled by a Herpstat II.

Sounds good, but how do you do that? Feeling a little stupid right now. :confused: Do you mean just have one handy, or hooked up?

flexwatt? are the 6qt tubs going to be resting on the tape?
