    Which incubator?

    For those of you who only hatch out say between 1 and 5 clutches a year, what do you use for your incubators? Do you just use something like those hovabators or make your own? I can't see a small time breeder paying for one of the large professional incubators.

    I use a converted Fridge. It can hold 10 clutches.

    I use one of www.nsreptiles.com/ incubators, flawless unit. Casey is one of the good guys to buy these from.

    You can make your own, converted fridges, wine fridges etc.

    We have a nature's spirit also. Great small incubator if you don't want to build your own. Customer service was great and the unit has never failed.

    Wow those are all really cool. They look great. I really like the one in the cooler though. Great use of stuff that everybody has and perfect for those who are just doing it as a hobby.

    Re: Which incubator?

    I do the fridge thing. The last few years the one i have has worked great. Power went out one day for 10 hours all eggs were ok. This next year ill be looking for some kind of big upright freezer if i can find one. Heres a link to the fridge incubator.
