I need a new incubator!

[XtremeHobby]

I am beyond pissed with exo-terra's garbage products. Their only good product lines are their tanks/enclosures and thats about it...

Anyways, I am looking around for a new tank. The reptile expo in canada in Etobicoke is this month and I may pick one up there (made by zoomed)

I've been looking around online and on youtube and theres a company named R-Com I think it was who makes and incubator called the Juragon.

It is expensive, at about $400-$500 I believe, but I want the best (but not more than $500).

I do NOT want to make one myself. I am in canada and we obviously get damn cold seasonal changes so I need something that can keep a constant temperature. The exo-terra let me successfully hatch over 100 bearded dragons in 2011 (When I first started breeding reptiles) and chameleons are my next fortay (I sell them locally to the pet stores and privately, I am somewhat known now, the pet store here called me asking for 75 bearded dragons, many of which will go to them and the other stores) and I told them straight out the incubator you sold me not even a year ago is broken, I need a new one. However their new manager isn't very willing to just give me one... I have to send it to exo-terra and wait for the new one, but I have 70 bearded dragon eggs wtf will I do with them just throw them out? Don't think so.

(The problem with the incubator is it won't heat itself up anymore at all, I hear the click and then nothing, wonder if there's an easy fix...?)

Anyways, what do you guys use?

in my experiences both of those are total junk


i don't have too much experience with incubators but i have been researching getting my own lately....temps here are pretty stable tho


have you considered using a higher end wine-cooler? they are essentially the same thing, hold temperature very accurately you just have to pull the wine racks out and put in incubation spots


i would be interested in finding a GOOD mid-range incubator as well...we go from simple styrofoam hovabators to the extreme "pro" quality $$$$ with only the crappy exoterra/zoomed ones in between

Check out Avey inc precision incubators. They mainly used for gtp eggs, and can hold temps stable to one tenth of a degree. There are some in for price range too.

Wouldn't the wine cooler need to heat and cool? Any examples of one?
