RE: [Killietalk] Incubators?

["lee Van Hyfte" <littleleeper23 at hotmail_com>]

Hi Y'all,

BE CAREFUL with chicken egg incubators.

2 reasons:

1. They become very effective desicators if you do not provide an 
evaporateable water source.

2. If the thermostat fails as did mine in my Hova bator brand (best on the 
market.)  You will have scrambled eggs.  I lost $2000 dollars worth in 
potential Varanus Monitor lizard production when it failed on me.  
Fortunately I had a second group of eggs developing in another egg 
incubator.  For the record Varanus can withstand temps of 120 F and they 
still got cooked. I am guessing the incubator was in the 140-160 range.  A 
little hot for even the toughest Notho ever built!!

Just a heads up.  A back up thermostat may be an alternative, controlling 
the whole system as a failsafe.

God Bless,Lee <><
