I will be using a little giant still air incubator for my first clutch more thanlikely, if you have had some experiences, good or bad with this kind of incubator form this company, please respond, the only incubator I can fidn is hova-bator, and their real expensive. Any help greatly appreciated

I have had good experiences with my still air lil giant incubator (its an older model too...i bought it quite a few years ago to hatch bird eggs).
After I found the eggs, I placed them in a shallow tupperware container filled halfway with damp perlite and covered them up (i did not punch holes in the tupperware lid). Be sure not to roll or turn the eggs, and bury them about halfway in the perlite (making a slight depression for each of them them w/ your finger is good). Put the container in the incubator, i incubated for females at about 82 degrees. Open the tupperware up every week for air exchange and then cover the eggs back up.

I haven't used Little Giant, but I do know a place where you could of gotten a Hovabator for a great price.. I got mine from LLLReptile.com and it was only 39.99(Came with incubator, Deli Cups and Vermiculite). I use the Vermiculite as a laying medium, then Perlite for incubation. Oh well, too late now, lol.

I wouldn't suggest buying animals from LLLReptile.com, though.. I heard their animals are usually unproperly cared for and likely to carry parasites.. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what I've heard. Other then that, buying supplies from them seems to be reasonable.

Thanks for the quick response,and the information! I saw that from LLL.reptile, but I thought with the shipping cost, I would be better off with the 42$ little giant. didi you have to pay shipping on that?

Yes, I did, but I forget how much shipping was now, lol. Ah well, it's a good investment for the future.
