    Don't use it, I had one for other purposes which it worked fine for( Feeder bug eggs) but from watching the temps all the time they are not all that reliable.

    Re: Hovabator

    I used it last year to hatch my first clutch of ball python eggs. It worked fine for me. I used the thermal flow one. This year I'm building my own, mostly because you have to replace pretty much the entire incubator every year (so its like buying a new one every year) and if you build your own it'll last much longer.

    I have to disagree. I have used the heating element from an hovabator and have had no problems with temps. Heck....I bred a 'Pastel' to a 'Normal' last season and got 3 Hypos.

    lol, thats not something you can disagree with! Its a simple on/off kind of incubator, and ive sat there and watched it go from 88 to 86 back up to 89 down to 86 before it turned back on, because I had the thermostat ( accurite) next to my bed. the only way id trust it for ball eggs is if I have the hova itself hooked up to a helix.
