Re: Confusion on incubators.
If you're going to use a Herpstat on a hovabator, why even bother? It seems like it would be better to either use a hovabator and hope for the best, or just make an incubator...
The reason would be the temperature would be controlled by the proportional Herpstat, not the on/off thermostat that is built in to the Hovabator..

Casey are you still making those Natures Spirit incubators? I've got one and have probably hatched close to 1000 ball pythons with it by now.

Re: Confusion on incubators.
I've priced the natures spirit ones and they are out of my price range for the foreseeable future. Thats why I was wondering about the hova bator and the reptibator ones. I've seen really good reviews on the hova bator and not so good on the reptibator.

About what?
Now that I have read thin entire thread............. You do have a third option other than the two you requested information on. Let your female do the job, a natural incubation wont cost you anything and you wont have to build anything either.

This was my thought. If you don't desire to build or even buy an incubator due to only having one accidental clutch, you could always allow for maternal incubation. It is my thought that mother knows best and is probably more accurate than either the havobater or the reptibator.

Although proportional thermostats are nice, they are overkill in my opinion. Temps in the wild are not perfect and neither are the temps of brooding females.
This is the exact thermostat I have had in use since 1996. Still works without a hitch.
