They are VERY small, can't fit a 6 quarts tub in it you would need to divide your clutch and place the eggs in small deli cups (might want to avoid that if the eggs are stuck together and you never separated eggs before) and you will only be able to fit 1 clutch in my opinion.

Now that size would be great for geckos and small snake species.

how many liters is a 6qt tub???

[RichsBallPythons]

5.5 Liters.

Incubator is not good for pythons unless its small species pythons. Best with colubrids or geckos/lizards

arrr so a clutch of 4-6 eggs would be to much to fit in the bator???

You can put one clutch up to 8 eggs depending on whether or not they are stuck together.

That incubator might do a single clutch better be a small one and that's expensive just to hatch one clutch.

Even if it can fit just one clutch i still would say go bigger. I like to have room when incubating. I would build your own. I dont know of any incubators that you can buy that are better then what you can make if your creative. Especially when cost is involved. Ive seen bators that cost a grand that you could build for a couple hondo.

I used that incubator this year. You should be able to easily fit three clutches in there as with the containers I use, i could fit 8 eggs per level. I do separate the eggs though, if you leave them in a clump it would be a little more difficult.

I used a styrofoam cooler from the grocery store, put a piece of 3 inch heat tape in it and connected a rheo stat to keep the temp right. Ran it for a few days to see how well the temps would hold. You can stack 2 levels of 2 6 quart tubs with room to spare. The whole thing costed me about $40.
