Can't say I have, but it looks all high speed and stuff. I would also like to know if any one has heard of it or has used one before. Its got a selection for different reptile, but not a detailed list....for example it lets you pick gecko, but for wich geckos. Will keep an eye on this thread, very intresting.

Very interesting indeed......and expensive.

Looks small. Does anyone know how big it is or how many eggs it will fold?

Ha ha ha! It folds eggs!? This I gotta see!!!


(totally kidding, just ignore me!) :main_yes:

It looks really cool, but I don't care for this...

Replicates daily temperature fluctuations

While in nature that may be a good thing, but as far as I understand temperature fluctuations are a main cause of deformations... Hmmm...

To my understanding itll hold 45+ leo eggs they have a wayy bigger model....I dont think anyone REALLY trying to break into reptile incubators would have that as a NOT ADJUSTABLE feature.. Which in fact, you can turn off the night drop/temp flux feature on this item.

Here's the manufacturer web link.

It does look pretty neat, but as already pointed out, a bit pricey. I'm probably going with a Natures Spirit soon, but this is interesting... might be worth a look for those who can afford it.

bump. At the introductory price this incubator is only about $100 more than a Natures Spirit w/ Herpstat or Helix thermostat. It won't hold as many eggs, but it just looks so cool that I may have to try one. I know.... but somebody here has to guinea pig this thing right?

If you download the PDF brochure and zoom in you can see that it's set to the "Gecko" preset in the picture. The low temp is 85 fahrenheit and the high is 87. I ran my Hovabator at around 86 this year, so that would work fine for me. Also, my very last hatchling of the season was born with a club shaped tail, probably due to the crazy heat wave and me running the air conditioner. Anyway, in my limited experience I've observed that it takes more than a 2 degree fluctuation to cause deformities. Obviously you can use it without the presets, but I'll probably try the preset to see how it works.

My only reservation is that it's not shipping yet. I am famous for buying things that take months to arrive. I had better call and make them promise to ship it on time or refund my money promptly.
