[cyreptiles]

Dear reptile funs

I live in a very hot country and i have problems when incubate reptile eggs on summer.
I am looking to find incubator manufactures that has model to cool down and heat the same time to control the correct temperature.
Can you give me some links with some brands please?

I live in Cairns so nice and tropical. I have just made one. I bought a wine fridge. I put a heat mat in the bottom which is connected to Habistat Pulse Proportional Thermostat. I then have the fridge connected to a Habistat Cool Control thermostat. I've tested it for 2 days and a variation of about 0.8 degree. With a few adjustments I'm sure i could get less variation. The fridge has an in built fan that comes on when the fridge comes on. I just run the cord in between the seal and used a child locks for fridges to hold the seal tight around the cords. I haven't hatched anything in it but can't see why it won't do a great job here in summer. As you can see the temps inside the incubator are lower than our temps outside.

this incubator cools down using heater or only with air fan?

One of my plans was to build one incubator like yours. but i can't trust this way too much and i start looking for alternative methods.

Why can't i trust it? I was going to buy a heating cooling one but heard there was too much temp variations. I though getting good thermostats and making it myself might alleviate high temp fluctuations? This is my first one so any advice welcome.
