Incubators- All methods

[Tanleo]

Hi guys I just wanted to know what kind of incubator methods you guys use. I used the method where I had a styrofoam cooler and I filled it half full of water and then I had put a fish heater in it and then I had another smaller container which I put the eggs and vermiculite in and a thermometer to make sure it was the right tempuratures. So Thanks Alex

I just use standard chicken egg incubators, like the Miller Little Giant or Hovabator brands with the turbo fan, you can get those online but it's much cheaper to go to "feed and seed" stores near your house since they stock them for farmers. Those are like $40-$50 bucks.

For the incubation medium I use a combo of moist perlite and forest moss in well ventilated deli cups (with lids).

I use a Hova-Bator, not the egg turner or fan type. I have small deli cups and put a clutch in each one and label them. I incubate withe vermiculite, 1:.9 ratio of vermiculite to water.

i use a heat cable to heat all my rack, and ive got some spare cable so basically, i just put my eggs in a small container in vermiculite and then just place them on the rack on the heat cable. the temps are fine cuz its dontrolled by a thermostat and its the same heat source thats jeating all the geckos boxes.

This year for the first time I'm using a mini-fridge reptile incubator which has its problems but has generally gotten the job done.

I use a large Walmart cooler with a heat tape strip on the bottom controlled by a Thermostat. I then layer 16oz bottles full of water on the bottom over the heat tape for temp stability. And finally a piece of eggcrate on top of the bottles for a stable platform in which I place Vermiculite filled egg containers.
