emaytiti Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Anyone on here use one of these and could shed some light on a couple of questions? 1) Should the container that the eggs are in be covered / un covered / covered with holes in the top? 2) Are all incubation temps the same for ALL incubators? Brought from this company - http://www.incubatorsnz.co.nz/webapps/i/60075/184598/315324 Thats the incubator itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonz1833 Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 i have heard from a few ppl that they dry out the eggs so i never got one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repto Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 if the machine has humidity control and you know the parameters you want(you should)then adjust machine/method accordingly.I see no reason why "they should dry out the eggs"???

alanmin4304 Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 The fan may dry out the eggs, but if you use sealed containers it would not matter. The temperatures seem a bit on the low side. It is also not very good capacity wise. Need to make sure they are ok for NZ power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Fan? is right---no fan and automatic humidity control so that should be OK. Still think the temperature range is a bit limited and volume seems limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repto Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 I always use individual containers,covered for each clutch.your second question makes no sense to me,30 degrees is 30 degrees where ever it is? Never used one of that specific type myself but I know the chicken ones from the same company have good reports and results.You could buy 2 still air hovabators for the same money and they are precise enough to hatch any reptile I can think of.up toyou and your needs really,i have hatched countless redears in a hotwater cupboard but would not risk anything rare or valuable.
