Incubators

[Brett]

I was wondering what you guys use for incubators. Brand, prices, etc

 

[alivia werner]

exo terra i got on craigslist for 80 normally 112

 

[alivia werner]

oh and a back up hovabator thats 40

 

[Brett]

ya that what i have also but haveing trouble keeping a constant temp. The Exo Terra digital readout is way of so im using a differet themometer in it and there realy is no way to controle humidity so im havening issues keeping that at a constant. I was hopeing there was something better out there for a resonable price.

 

[alivia werner]

most other things ae 150 and up i know its hard hmm now thth u said something mayb i shld try another thermometer in my incubator just to check

 

[Brett]

Mine is 9 degrees off

 

[alivia werner]

omg i just checked and mines 9 degrees too low too no wonder my babies are late hatching wow

 

[Brett]

Ya i contacted the company i purchased it from with no reply yet my next step is contacting exo terra to see if they will do anything about it

On the 2nd page of Bearded Dragon Breeding there is a thread posted by crypticdragons that is a ''How to'' on building an incubator out of a cooler. Check it out when you get a chance.

 

[alivia werner]

i think im going to do something simular except out of a dual stage wine cooler so i can incubate both my dragons and cresties

Nice!

 

[alivia werner]

yea i really liked it but i found some people that build large incubators for affordable price because the incubator i have now will b way too small for when i produce more

How many dragons do you plan on working with?

 

[GemmyLou]

Iv made my own and iv got a chicken egg incubator.. And both 100% successful

 

[alivia werner]

my goal is 10 females and 5 males by the end of 2012 most likely will get them before then but just incase lol i woul dmake a cooler incubator but i just prefer the cabinet incubator style if you know how tomake tht let me know lol n ill make my own

 

[Terra Colson Nicholson]

i made my own and it works pretty good so far.. my temps do float a bit but nature does as well, so im not worried about the 80 to 83 degrees floating...
if you still need help, i can tell you what i did. Its my first time so im not a pro but my eggs are growing and i will know in 3 weeks if they hatch at 60 days or more

 

[alivia werner]

oh yea i got a great design from chris allen made out of a refridgerator im gunna do but thanks

 

[Brett]

Could u send me a copy of that design

its very easy just gut it then put 2 -11' heat tape down the back plug them into a temp controler and thats it
