Atthis point I will only have 1 clutch of eggs this season.

my question is I have a hovabator that I used for dragons and leopard geckos...would this work for my ball python eggs?

thanks for your help

Yes it will work fine, but obviously not with the dragon or leo eggs, as the temps are different.

A valid point, but he stated that he USED to use the incubator for the others. It didn't seem he planned on incubating all three simultaneously.

That's what I use and I have had no problems so far.

I know several people that still use the hovabator for hatching eggs. However instead of using the hovabator bottom I would look into getting a Fish cooler and placing the hovabator top on it to allow more space between the heater element and the eggs. But that is just my opinion. Hope that helps, Thanks David

I agree as this allows you to place the eggs in a seperate container to incubate. We tried using a Hovabator the first year we had Ball Python eggs and couldn't get a container inside it and without a container the incubation medium dried out too fast.

Just our 2 cents,

Thats a big help! I am going to build a room size incubator 6ft by 9 ft this week I will post pics.
