That one does look nice, doesn't say how much it is though?
Yea he's definetly a keep,
Ya... If I remember it's about $200. But I've seen it on ebay and amazon for $99
The only thing that concerns me is we'd need to come up with a way babies don't fall out when we open it!
I have that incubator except "slightly" different. I have the reptipro version of it. They make them from those fridge/warmers that you see on ebay. I use it primarily as a hatcher as it holds humidity GREAT, but the air exchange is a little bit of an issue, it left me opening and closing the door to get fresh air in it, which becomes a little bit of a problem during lockdown. Although it hardly drops the humidity to open it and it comes back up in about 2 minutes. The temp doesn't hold as stable and does need a little monitoring and double checking because the temp that is displayed is off. I suggest using hardware cloth cutouts to lay over the top of the shelves then shelf liner over top of that, the holes on the tray are big, so something has to go down on top of them to keep chickies from falling through the holes and the gap between the shelf and the door.
Looking back I would have just gone with the off branded ebay version if I was going to buy it again and saved myself some money because they are almost no different. I got mine from incubators.org and it came with a little egg turner also, it was around $200 I believe. It works great as a hatcher, but I think it's most ideally suited for reptiles.
Good luck with your incubator purchases everyone!!!
