How many clutches are you hoping to produce in the next couple of seasons?

How many clutches are you hoping to produce in the next couple of seasons?

I am going to have some where between five or possibly more clutches.

I will take suggestions on other incubators too, I don't want anything unreliable though, I will have a few very important clutches.

If you want something reliable build your own. A free fridge, some flexwatt and a good t-stat and you're all set.

Not to mention those store bought ones will not hold 4-5 decent size clutches.

I hear that Nature's Spirit incubators are really nice, supposedly they are fairly on the large side. I can't say that for certain, that would be why I'm hear asking. I don't mind spending a bit of money, I really don't want to build something, that is really not my best department.

There's not much building required. All you really have to do is drill a few holes in the side of a fridge for the t-stat probe and the wire for the flexwatt. After that it's just taping the flexwatt on and plug it in.

I do understand wanting something ready to go, just plug and play more or less.

Whatever you decide remember you get what you pay for.


Good luck,
Gavin

Great! We almost bought the same incubator at a reptile show for $125 used. I love the idea of DIY out of an old refrigerator. I scanned craigslist but didn't see anything real cheap that was close so I am going to call around to the local apartment complexes and see if I can get one of the ones they replace. There are several complexes in the area and they would probably be willing to give it away free to avoid the cost of disposing of them.

I know many are tired of hearing it but DIY is cheaper and you can build bigger for cheaper. Think ahead always

May think ehh one clutch this year but your hooked once they hatch and you want MORE next year. Go to craigslist and search hard in the appliance free section for ppl throwing fridges away. ADD some flexwatt, herpstat and some fans and DONE and your still under 150$.
