I'm looking at the Dickey 2x2 with electronic thermostat & full acrylic door...right at $650.

I would like to hear how that works for you. Maybe I need to change this to a cabinet incubator thread....

What updates are the 1502's supposed to have?

You changed the thread title!

Soooo...to those of you that already have one of these cabinet incubators, how does outside temperature affect temps inside these bators?

The reason I'm asking is I currently use Reptipro & Exoterras that both heat & cool to maintain desired temp. They're all out on a screened porch area that can get pretty cold at night (20's) & temps go way up in summer(100+ with humidity). As I mentioned before...I'm interested in the Dickey & just wondering how these temps will affect it. I'm not worried about winter, but in summer with temps so high...will the Dickey (or any other) maintain desired temp & not spike due to the outside temps??

I have not heard great things about the Reptipro. It is basically a dorm room refridgerator with a reptipro sticker on it. It doesn't have a good method for ventilation.
