I have not had an issue with them but I would never trust one to do an incubator since it is on off only and need the incubator to hold at a static and constant temp. We also power all our racks off 1 Herpstat 4 & 1 VE 300x2. As for backups and one off racks I use them with no issues. In fact I use them for my many of the lizards I keep :)
Thank you for this overview! I appreciate your attention to the details regarding incubator types, substrates, ect. I had great success with my first clutch using a DIY Igloo cooler, Orbeez in the egg box, eggs on top of a light diffuser, Temperature at 87.1F, humidity 99%. If you're soaking your vermiculite and using a light diffuser, consider using orbeez. Snakes can't drown in them if they get under the diffuser, and the humidity was perfect.
I have never heard of using Orbeez before but that an incredibly unique idea. I may give that a shot :) It would certainly be colorful at least right? Lol. I imagine the colorful ones may not be the best choice without researching the dyes used but maybe, and I know they make clear ones
As someone who’s getting into brewing for the first year it’s a bit overwhelming to know what’s the best option for the price. Thanks for the great info
There is a fine line. It all depends on your setup. I built my own. The temperature was fluctuating too much until I removed the fan. Good video, do one about incubation mistakes and the defects it causes.
As someone who is new to the ball python world with aspirations of breeding I have been looking into incubators and came to the conclusion that I was going to make one as cost is an issue for a Wilbanks/Seaserpents and those others seem sub par. My oldest/largest female I am hoping to breed in 6-8 months so have been doing research for a while now. This video has given me a lot of good information and I thank you.
Thank you! We used home made since the beginning, until this year. They worked great but I am glad to have gotten the larger incubator for sure. And I assume water incubation has worked well for you as I have heard form others. I try to get as much humidity as possible & I have never had an issue with to much of it.
Those ink bird thermostats are good in my experience, obviously there's better but I think you can get all the same features

Thanks and I agree. That does sounds like a good video topic in the future as well!
Thankyou for all the info hope it saves a bunch of headaches for others
Agreed and thanks for watching :)

Making one is the way many go for sure especially at first :) Ours worked great for a long time. With that said I do love our new incubator.
I hope you have space, money and/or potential owners for the babies-to-come! Best of luck ^^
Great information.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Good Content Dude🤘
I Use a home made Incubator, it works well since 15years.
But i use only Water, no Substrat.

I just hatched my first clutch from a cooler incubator
Very awesome! I have heard the other than space issues they work well
@@RhynosRoyals absolutely I'm impressed 💯
Love the video
Thank you!
