A small cooler and a RELIABLE thermostat which will be the most important and most expensive part of your incubator.
Some people have done it , I would not do it or trust it, I have been into fish a LONG time and water heater fail a lot more than a reliable thermostat will, ultimately YOUR choice, you want to incubate at 88-90.#1. INCUBATOR: I like the idea of the Styrofoam cooler. Could I use a fish tank tube heater to heat the water? I have them with the thermostats built right into it so I can control the temperature of the water pretty easily. If I can, what temp should I have in there?
A better option is het tape and a RELIABLE T-Stat.
Very small and expensive and I would not trust the internal T-Stat#2. Has anyone ever used an Exo Terra Incubator? If so, is it a nice incubator?
Here is the one I was looking at for $149.00 before I saw about the Styrofoam one: http://www.bigalspets.com/exo-terra-...g0GhoCvF7w_wcB
You can find vermiculite or perlite at feed stores and/or gardening supply stores, make sure there are no additives.#3. The minerals that go in the 6 qt container that the eggs goes into (vermiculite), where do they sell those at? Are they something I can buy at the store or do I have to order online?
