    ReptiPro 5000 or 6000?

    Does anyone have any experience with these as far as incubating eggs? I'm debating whether I should order one.

    The reptipro has bad reviews. I bought the accu temp 6000 from Big Apple and it works great. If its your first time to buy they will give you a discount. Here is the link. Good luck.

    I was in the market for an incubator last year and was considering buying one of the kemps incubators. They are small and very expensive.Also, the one perk to this incubator (automatic humidity control) doesn't seem to function properly. Almost every review I read people said theirs malfunctioned. Many people said that the water reservoir went dry very quickly and some said it did so without warning them of low humidity levels. Do a search on google or something and you can find what customers have said.

    Yeah, i got very few reviews and they were very brief.
    Why do another search when you just confirmed
    How darn hard is it for these guys to make a incubator that works without potentialy killing your eggs?
    Dudes make this crap out of a cooler and do a better job.
    I need one for 2-3 clutchs, why is that so hard to obtain a small working incubator that doesnt suck.

    I've got one of these myself. I used it for one season and couldn't stand it. It does NOT keep temperatures stable which is the main reason to have an incubator in the first place.

    Well I've been using an ice chest set up very similarly to the old refrigerators I'm seeing on here. I'd been having issues getting the right temps and stable temps, but I got a new thermostat and a smaller heating element and I've been holding 88-89 degrees for about 18 hours now, so I think I've got the problem fixed on my homemade one now.

    I still have about 3-4 weeks until I expect eggs, so this is a good sign.
