hovabator question ?

[MichaelJ]

what is the best model of hovabator available ?

I see some models that are for poultry or goose or quail eggs, have air flow, turn eggs, and have air flow - which I hear dries out eggs.

the GQF1590 looks like the best at a glance but I'd like other's opinions on what works best for them. It talks about air flow and I'm not sure thats right..

I'll be buying two of them in the next few weeks.

thanks in advance !

Michael, the most commonly used Hovabator is this one:

Yep. That's what I use... I need to get back here after the NARBC show and convert that 'fridge into an incubator.

That's also the model I have.
I didn't think the air flow would help much as the eggs are placed in their hatching substrate inside a deli cup, which is then put inside the incubator.
Also, just to be sure, you can't/shouldn't turn leopard gecko eggs, as they adhere to the inside of the shell, and will drown if you turn them on their side after they've done this.
So any that turn eggs would have to give you the option to take the apparatus out.

That is also the one I used last year. This year I will be using a homemade one that my husband made me out of a fridge.
