Hovabator(Thermal) setup?

[Stitchex]

I just ordered a Thermal Hovabator, and I'm curious as to how to set it up. It hasn't come yet, and as of right now, I have no need for it, but I'm just always wanting to be a few steps ahead . Does anyone have a page to explain how? Thanks!

i will make my question on this thread, to avoin open another.
i got my hovas yesterday, and the pamphlet only talks about chicken eggs, for geckos eggs do i need the plastic floor with water and the steal net?

I threw that water channel out , put water in a 1 gallon freezer bag(flattened) and put the "steal net" over that..... works great.

[paulnj]

a freezer bag.. a air tight plastic bag for freezing food.

Here's a link to some, for reference.

You can just use any plastic bag and tie a knot instead or even use a hot water bottle like this that's way more expensive.

what's the funcion of the bag of water? just to keep the right temperature?

 

[paulnj]

Keep the temps more stable when you opeb it.

[paulnj]

no need for extra humidity, just used sealed containers and follow "Albey's method" .
