New Incubator (ReptiPro 5000 w/o the sticker shock!)
« on: December 14, 2009, 11:56:01 AM »
I've been searching around for a new incubator since I sold my Nature's Spirit last year like a dummy. I figured I wouldn't be breeding for a while... Wrong! lol. Anyway I remembered I saw someone link to a website called ThinkGeek.com for a mini fridge/warmer. I've noticed that several reptile companies have been selling a similar product (actually I think it is the same exact product) as incubators. I ordered it Thursday and it just got here. It is pretty nifty! Here is a pic:



ThinkGeek.com is MUCH more reasonable than buying it from a reptile website, as they have marked the price up GREATLY. Here is the link to where I got mine:

For fun, here are links to the website selling them for more.

I will be using this thing for ball python and rhacodactylus eggs. There isn't a ton of room in it, but for $100 the price can't be beat. Just thought I'd share.

Cool find Abi, will you be making any modifications?  Or do the temps flux at all?

Not sure yet Juddy, I have it going now and it does fluctuate a little bit but not much and for only a few seconds when heating up or down. I'm going to get a digital thermometer w/ a probe and set it in an incubation container to be more accurate. It does have a fan inside (which you can see) so that's pretty cool. I've heard many success stories from other people so I'm pretty confident about it.

I'll definitely give updates as I go :) I should have a ball clutch to put in it soon if all goes well.
