My geckos just layed their first clutch of 2 eggs and I expect more every 3-4 weeks for the next 3 or so months. Also expecting a clutch of 15-45 eggs from my gravid veiled chamaleon by next week.

This incubator could hold 200 eggs and if I stacked the containers, 2x that amount.

It's all in a 20 gallon tank. Everything, minus the 10$ tank, cost me 15$ at wal-mart.

It's has a temp range of about 70 degrees to 125 degrees, i've had it holding steady at 82-83 degrees the last 2 weeks.

Hi, nice set up.
what's the humidity in he incubator?

I guess I don't really know. I had a humidity guage in there but it fell off the wall into the water and broke.

Hey, I've used a set up almost identical to this to incubate my gecko eggs. Works pretty well for the most part, but I had a problem of things getting TOO wet in there. Perhaps I was doing something wrong, but your cotton towel on top looks like it'll keep things in order. Mine kept dripping on the egg container's lid... very annoying. I will be upgrading next season... either still homemade or I may actually buy something (gasp!).

Good luck with yours, and let us know how successful it is for you. It sure is a heck of a lot cheaper!
