I incubated this guy for male, along with a clutch mate.
Any recommendations on commecial incubators? I'm retiring my hovabators after this year - the temperature fluxuations keep me nervous. I've been monitoring and catching the changes OK - but I would like more piece of mind.
Maybe I'll just start doing things "natural" - just put them in the lower section of my rack on the outside and let nature take it's course.

I retired my 4 hovabators after one of them went sky high while I was at work. Hit 120+ degrees and killed a lot of P & A hatchies. Now I use an incubator I made out of small refrigerator. Total cost was less than $50 and its capacity is much higher than the hovas. I monitor the temps, it doesn't fluctuate much more than .2 degrees and it has a built in safety made to shut off above 90d. I can write up a how-to if anyones interested. Otherwise it was just my .02

Monte, those are SWEET!!! if i was you i would invest in a good thermostat and you and some of your students get together and MAKE one... a good learning experience as well. also i want to pick up another female when they hatch some so drop me a line

what do you mean by natural and how would you do it? is the hatch rate good? thanx.
Well, in the wild, the temps would fluxuate - especially at night, right? Why not put it in the rack - on the cooler side - and see what happens.
