MugenCRX,
I would personally like to make my apologies to you. I made a post on to your thread which I thought was just adding a bit of humor onto the forum. However I didn’t get to see you reply since it got pulled. I was informed that it was a bit hurtful (I’m assuming to you). I just wanted to tell you personally that I was joking around and nothing more, and didn’t mean to hurt any feelings.

As for your incubator post, you don’t want a fan to big moving to much air. You want the air to be circulated slowly and evenly around the tubs to keep the temperatures even throughout the incubator.

To big of a fan will cause additional heat which can be a negative. To small of a fan may not move enough air. I can’t tell you exactly what type of fan to use as there’s to many variables that come into play and since every incubator is made/set up differently.

My advice is trial and error. Now is the time to play with your incubator before your eggs come. When I get home I’ll post a pic of my incubator so you can get some ideas.

It takes a big man to apologize. I didn't think it was very bad, actually I didn't even understand it. I made a post once that I thought was humorous, but my wife thought it was rude. I did the same thing you have done, apologize. When things are written, they might sound a little different than if they were spoken in person.

However, I did see the irony of a newbie giving incubator instructions. when he actually needed advice himself.

Matt, your excitement and enthusiasm reminds me of what we all experienced at the beginning. Do as much research as you can and ask questions, one day you'll know it all, just like the rest of us.

I agree Mike, that was nice of Piton to apologize as I did the same because I felt it was needed. I look forward to learning as much as possible from everbody here including you. Thanks Mike
Happy Holidays! -Matt

Pitoon I apologize for my response to your post, it was immatue and unexceptable. Everyday I walk through the door of my home I cant wait to log onto kingsnake forums. This place is full of so much knowledge, and I am learning more and more everyday from each and everyone of you. It was a bit hurtful to be made fun of for my questions as stupid as they may have sounded I didnt no any better, tis is why I posted them on here. For the members with the no how, could tell me the dos and donts from trial and error. I posted THE HOW TO BUILD AN INCUBATOR thread for those who hadnt had the slightest idea how to go about doing so, which was me two months ago. I realy thought that I was helping some members or maybe atleast one. I again apologize for being an @$$hole. There is absolutely no reason for any members to fight on here or argue, in the end we are all here for the same interest and reason. Happy Holidays! Matt

That's not fair.......i didn't even get a chance to read your post.

I guess i'll never know what you wrote

I get off in 30 mins, when i get home i got to settle in with the family and then i'll go down and take some pics of my incubator. Hopefully you can get some ideas.
