I'm looking at an incubator on ebay that's a hova-bator. it says that its perfect for chicks...but I was wondering if it would work for geckos...I don't know much about them...all i know is tht I don't want them to die. So does anyone know if a THERMAL AIR HOVA INCUBATOR .110 VOLT will work for my gecko eggs?

Thanks

yes a hobovator is sufficiant for incubating leopard geckos eggs and are very imexpensive. make sure it is not the turbo fan model this model will dry your eggs out too much. the only problem i find with hobovatos is that they tend to fluctuate in tempature so make sure and keep a close eye on the tempature inside... i would suggest getting a rayteck temp gun you can get them at www.beanfarm.com or get a mini temp gun they can be bought at www.tempgun,com, the mini temp guns arent quite as accurate as raytecks but very close and for the value and for leopard geckos they work well.
good luck and just an fyi i didnt get my hobovator on ebay i got mine at lllreptiles.com they had the best prices at the time, i think like 35 bucks
good luck
oh yeah p.s. do not forget DONT get the turbo fan model hehe

well, i guess I got a little excited and nervous, so I got an incubator from a local tractor supply place. It's a hova-bator, without the turbofan or anything else. I also got some perelite from wal-mart. So I'm having a friend of mine help me hook it up and stuff becasue I don't know what I'm doing and he does, so yeah. I hope all goes well. Thanks for the replies.
