Reptipro 5000
I'm thinking of buying a reptipro 5000 and wanted some opinions and also they have an egg turner option, I didn't think you were supposed to turn reptile eggs right.

I'm not sure about other types of reptiles but I know you don't turn ball python eggs.

No reptile eggs need to be turned. Because of the way they are formed when they lay, if you turn an egg, the air hole can become sealed preventing good enough gas exchange. Although I can not comment on that particular incubator - any egg turners are generally for poultry use - chickens, quail, etc.

Retics are my passion. Just ask.

I believe it is adapted from a avian incubator why there is an egg turner that would be the avian version.

I built a true cooler commercial glass door fridge into an incubator that will do 24 clutches for the same cost as that unreliably tiny incubator.
I wouldn't incubate ball python eggs in that unless it was given to me, and even then I'd have to use a good proportional thermostat on it.
I'm not sure there is a good incubator on the market for less than ...
