    Eco Terra Incubator

    Has anybody ever used one of these? Next year will be my first year breeding and I'm starting all my research and prep now.

    Thanks y'all in advance.

    I don't like how small it is. The inside dimensions are greatly reduced in workable space by the fan system.

    I don't have any experience with them. I would suggest building your own incubator. It is very easy and you can tailor it to your needs. If you're planning ahead, try to figure out how many clutches you might expect. For example, I had 4 clutches my first season and 12 the next. if you buy or build a small one, you may get caught in a tough spot without enough room. I used an old, full sized freezer and it works great.

    You can hatch 1 clutch 2 if you are lucky at the same time, I would personally not trust the thermostat on it, so you would be better off buying a cooler (a 120 quarts one can allow you to have up to 8 clutches at the time) and buy a RELIABLE thermostat (Herpstat) and make your own.

    You can also get fridges for free if you look around hard enough.

    I think I'll go cooler thanks!
    I'll have an extra herpstat or 2 laying around anyhow.
