while 30 is better than 60, take into consideration that it's a styrofoam incubator... styrofoam does not age well IMO.
if you're not opposed to ordering via internet, I got both of my hovabators, NEW, for about $100. one picture window one regular. added homebrew computer fan w/ cell phone chargers wired (free from used components) and a used turner off ebay. so i now have seperate hatcer and incubator. i got them from LLL Reptile Supply in calif.
also, consider how much gas you'll burn driving that hour... at least another $10-15 with an average vehicle. (hubby also says plus your time to take off doing other things. what's your time worth?)

Good point on the age of the styrofoam! I guess I will pass on this one. Driving wise, it's about the same as getting my boys to a soccer game. Not sure what my time is worth! Always too much to do and never enough time, and I don't get paid for it. LOL
Did you pay $100 each or total, including shipping?

Tomorrow I promise! I have 1 Blue Copper Marans, 1 Black (?) Copper Marans, 7 productions in the brooder, 3 more still drying but are nasty with crud. 4 rocks in the brooder and 1 lav that pipped died, 1 lav is out but not doing great. The other 3 lavs have not pipped. 1 Dark Brahma is out one more pipped. There are 4 more marans eggs in the hatcher but not pipped
Not my best hatch but they are not my eggs either. All but 1 of my eggs have hatched and survived this hatch. I can't say that for the other eggs
10 more eggs still left to hatch
today is day 21.

My fingers are crossed for you. I know how hard it is to wait. I have 8 beautiful babies right now, two died trying to hatch out and 21 eggs yet to hatch on day 21. Not sure if they will hatch but I hope they do.
We can wait and pace the floor together lol.

I wish mine were further away but I have the weekend off and it's in the next room, so are the new babies and they tend to get loud so I have to check. When I check on them I have to check the incubator too. So far no activity but it is only day 21 maybe they will still hatch.
