    Re: Incubator hovabator question!

    Do I need turbofan or thermal air and such? Or should I be looking at something else?

    I'm not a breeder so I don't have an answer, but if you type in Hovabator into the search function at the top of the page it will bring up about 180 threads. You might be able to find what you are looking for there...

    Re: Incubator hovabator question!

    purchasedthe one I used for a single clutch off lllreptile.com I ent up setting it up with the light disfusser and kept a clost eye on it. ( never used the plastci piece or the wire ) I just dumped my medium in and poured about a pitch of water in there , then se t my light disfusser on top ( I do this with my coke machine and tubs now) the medium goes into a 12 or so quart tub with a light disfusser on top and then my eggs.

    matter fact I already fired up mine fo this year and will prolly toss the hovubator out ( don't help I melted the bottom of mine with a heating padd) using the heating pasd to try and keep th humidity higher. it still intact I just melted the bottom some lol.

    I used this, bought it like a package deal. Works fine.

    Dump the hatchrite in the bottom of the incubator no plastic or wire mesh. Put eggs in hatchrite. I added a little water to the hatch rite.
