It’s not pretty, but it works.

Looks good, now time to test run incubator to get it dialed in. Temps and humidity checked with separate calibrated thermometer/hygrometer. Verifying temp readings and experimenting with how many water channels to fill to hit humidity targets for incubating and hatching. Good luck and have fun, looks like you are.

I've only turned it on to make sure it's working. I will definitely test it some more.

A friend is having major surgery, and so we've found ourselves house/petting for a couple of weeks. Then late Sept. we're going out of town.

I'm afraid this bumps my hatch to near the end of Sept.

But, I'm definitely going to have some fun with this!

Oh, you're right! The eggs need to poke out the bottom of the rails. Thanks for pointing that out.

Wouldn't wood get moldy?

Nope, I have a homemade bator made out of plywood and 1x2's.Works great. I used a 40w heating element and a circuit board from an old LG. Cut two rectangles in the top and put plexiglass over the holes for viewing. Painted the inside white and stained the outside with walnut color stain.

In your bathroom?!

Damn auto correct, I edited it!

A bathroom-sized incubator could hatch an awful lot of eggs! or maybe a few pteradactyl eggs.
