Best Incubator to purchase?

Hey gang! Just curious if some of you pros could point me towards some of the better plug-and-play incubators. I know a lot of you have done the DIY ones but I am really cramped on time and not super handy so I'd just rather buy a good one. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Joe

We just bought this one on a strong recommendation from a friend.

I'm a big advocate of making your own incubator.

That said if I had to pick a plug and play one I've always thought the Animals Plastics incubator and the Natures Spirit incubators looked pretty nice.

If you have the money I know Habitat Systems makes some really reliable and nice incubators. They are definitely not for the shallow pockets though.

A Herpstat + HovaBator. Perhaps not 'plug and play', but still the most reliable, most economical, and most stable of anything I've tried so far. Plus, you can fit 5 ball clutches in one, if you use substrateless incubation and don't put them in separate containers.

Nature Spirit is a great choice. I have one and it works great. Very reasonably priced as well.

I also have a natures spirit incubator as does my friend per my suggestion.One other thing Casey always has time to answer your questions also :gj:.I use a herpstat from spyder robotics and it keeps the temps perfect

How many clutches does one of the regular Natures Spirit incubators hold ?

I see you have a Mocha/Mojo BEL.... Out of curiosity where'd you get it from? I haven't seen one of those yet. Sorry for being off topic.

Thanks everyone!


I bought him at the Las Vegas Reptile Expo from TSK (The Snake Keeper) out of Utah...

If I were to buy one I would call Matt @ monstercages..... He is building some nice incubators I would give him a call tell him what you are needing and go from there

I too will be doing the hovabator and adding my own thermostat. Im only expecting 4 clutches max this season, and they most likely wont be all at once. I was going to build my own but i hear the hovabtor/thermostat method works nicely until you start producing more clutches.

This way is also useful due to the fact you will have already eliminated the larger purchase of a thermostat once youre more prepared to build your own incubator for more clutches.

i want a incubator from nsreptiles but the web site is not leting me order one. anyone have trouble with that? thanks again

If you go to Nature Spirits home page it explains that Casey has had quite a few surgeries in a short period and will be down for awhile. They are taking names for a waiting list though.
