    Incubators

    So for years now I have used an incubator of a friend. We are no longer speaking so I am on hunt for a larger incubator. Question is where to begin With the selection out there and different manufactures I am at a loss. looking for quality, capacity and price is not much of an issue. I do not want a POS I can make one of those myself. Any suggestions?

    DIY for sure! You can control everything about them. They're super easy to make and I've heard nothing but problems with the overpriced, over-marketed ones.

    Cornel's World does. He's in Canada but I don't see why he couldn't ship to you

    I just saw that incubator on the AP website well worth looking into. I also just came across a sight called hot box incubators here is the link http://www.hotboxincubators.com/#!incubators

    these incubators seem very well built.

    I have an incubator from natures spirit. I love it! I've only been breeding for a few years but I have a 100% hatch rate. Here's the link

    The Hot Box incubators do have a very nice design and seem well built. They just seem a little expensive to me. Keep in mind the price on their website does not include shipping. But if price is not an issue they seem like really nice incubators

    I believe Hot Box does custom build incubators if you send them the specs you want. I would contact Yovan for more info: yovan54@hotmail.com

    Natures Spirit incubators builds theirs from 10mm expanded PVC. I'm not sure if Casey builds his incubators with customs specs or not but I think it's definitly worth contacting him and asking considering his excellent reputation: thirtypt@aol.com
