I have used a Hovabator incubator as sold by Randall Burkey Co and
advertised in Reptiles magazine. I have used it for several years and it
has not let me down. However, as designed it does not allow for a nighttime
drop unless used with a timer or manually turned off and on. I believe they
were originally designed to hatch poultry eggs. They start at $38.95. Of
course with only one incubator it means my eggs must all be at the same
temperature. Usually 82-83F. I vary the humidity within the containers the
eggs are incubated in to allow for different species. May have to try
something different next year to get more than one temperature.
