King Suro 20

How long did it take JMT to ship your incubator?

I ordered it on March 30, and It's arriving today. So, it took about 6 days? I'm located in Seattle, Washington though, So depending on distance, it could take longer?

Thanks.

, I just got my King Suro today. took many pictures (will post hopefully tomorrow when I have the chance) (will start a first test hatch Wednesday) , but overall, I am very happy! it was very easy to assemble and put together,

One big question was in regards to the evaporating pad.


Just got my King Suro today at 630, and now its 11:44pst. I was wondering how everyone is putting in the Evaporating Pad (yellow).

It shows to cut 70 mm-75 mm for humidity over 60 percent, and 50-55mm for below 50 percent.

So are you cutting two pieces, and putting in the other piece later for hatch at over 60 percent,

or are you just cutting one piece and folding it?

Hopefully my question makes sense?

Just want to know if you are cutting one full piece or two pieces, and adding the other one at the end to increase it to 60 percent?

So I just cut a piece about 6 inches long and 3 inches wide, folded it and put it as high up as the white plastic thingy's would go. Otherwise there isn't room for the chicks to move around when they hatch.

I'm in Florida and, of course, it's humid here...even now. I have my humidity set on 38%. I candle at 7 and 14 days and adjust my humidity according to how large the aircells are. At day 7, with the humidity set at 45%, the aircells had barely changed so I decreased the humidity to 38%. At 14 days the aircells were still not quite as large as I would like so I backed the humidity down to 35%. But with the relative humidity in our house, it won't go below 36%. The pump doesn't ever kick on and I'm ok with that.

My experience is that it has no problem keeping the humidity up high enough. The pump will run more often to keep the pad saturated enough. You can also increase the speed of the pump.

I quit turning and increase humidity tomorrow morning, so I'll let you know how it is to keep the humidity up without changing the drip pad. I suppose if you were in the desert southwest you might need a large pad to keep the humidity high enough. I see you're in Washington...I don't think you'll have any problems!!

Has anyone used the Aquarium Top Incubator??? I have several aquariums that are not in use so would love to try this. Let me know if it is worth the price or if anyone has tried to make one at home.

Thanks

I don't have one. It looks like a nice incubator, but gosh, that seems like a lot to me for only 24 eggs.

I started by cutting two pieces, one big and one small, and put the smaller one in to start. I wanted my humidity at 55% though, and the small pad wasn't cutting it, so I put the larger one in, and it worked perfectly.

This hatch, I just left the larger pad in, and it's holding rock solid humidity. I don't think I'll bother with the smaller one anymore.

It should be located at the bottom of your incubator. I think I saw it. Need to check again, but i believe it is there. Hopefully you find it.
