    Exo terra incubator

    Anyone own one of these i have read some good reviews and some horrid reviews. I am having a hard time finding ball python reviews though mostley just gekos. I was just wondering if someone owns one how it works and how they have it setup. I keep reading that they will refund any purchase if your dissatisfied but id much rathet not lose any eggs!

    Way too small and I would not recommend trusting the internal thermostat therefore you are looking at another $100.

    Building your own if you are on a budget will be best, if not look into Nature Spirits and Hotbox

    So are you bypassing the internal thermostat and using the PID controller/thermostat to run it?

    My friend want it to do that because we didn't trust the exo terra as well, but I only used as an external thermometer
    Exo terra worked fine for my by itself

    In my opinion a better option for a few clutches is a hovabator. I've used both hovabators and the exo-terra incubator and the hovabator worked MUCH better for me. Neither one has a particularly great thermostat but the hovabator kept temps more stable.
