Hey everyone. I am beyond angry right now so forgive me if I dont make the best sense.
I bought this Reptipro 6000 incubator 2 months ago to keep my Nosybe clutch of 28 eggs around the proper temps. I dont have central air so my APT gets hot in the summer, 80-90 easy and I know that wouldnt work.
Today when I checked on my eggs as I do every other day or so, the outside therm of the "Incubator" said 76 degrees. When I checked on both of my internal therms they said 46!! FORTY SIX DEGREES. Of course I immediately took them out and have them high in a closet, but I am horrified that I just lost 28 perfectly healthy Nosybe Eggs.
I never trusted this "Incubator" and should of went with my gut and spent more money on another one. It was advertised to keep the temp +/- 2 degrees, which even that it wouldnt do. I had it set at 73 and it would constantly cycle from 70 up to 77 then back to 70 and so on in a constant cycle. I accepted that because I had the eggs in containers inside the incubator, but today I am just destroyed thinking I just lost 28 Nosybe Eggs.
I am moving next month to an apt with central Air, so I wont need an incubator anymore, but man this hurts.
Anyone know the chances of them not all being dead? I am obviously going to keep them until there scheduled hatch date, but I have a feeling that this incubator just froze over all my eggs.
Opinions?
