Incubator!

I want to buy a legit one. My egg parenting skills are lacking. Any idea? There's nothing up in the Classifieds. Thanks!

Andew, buy yourself a Hovabator. They are very inexpensive ($50 or so) and will do the job very well. You should be able to buy one from LLL Reptiles or at another reptile oriented pet facility in CA. If not, you can buy them online.

Once you get it, set it up and run it for a couple of days to make sure the temperature inside is stable. You should keep it in an area where the room temperature doesn't vary too much, because the outside temps will affect the inside temp of the incubator.

Hovabators do work but i like to double thermostat mine just to be safe, the build in one works but i back it up with one of those ESU thermostats just to be safe
