I have used a hovabator for beardie eggs in the past but would never use it for BP eggs. BP's need high humidity which a hovabator can't control well, also there is no air circulation in a hovabator so even if you got the humidity up there it would probably get real nasty. Beardie eggs can take alot more humidity and temp swings and still hatch fine. I don't use a hovabator anymore but did get 100% hatched beardies back in the day. make a incubator out of a cooler or old refrig for BP's and you will have more success.
