Make shift incubator/hatcher?

[Mysimplewyominglife]

Just checked on it. heating pad switched of must have done it in the last 30 mins. So I have set a timer for a hr to see if it turns off after a hr if it's still on I'll set it for another hr and go from there.

Well I did not turn the heating pad on like I thought I did. But I did add something to the incubator/hatcher I just need to seal it in place. Thinking of adding a vent that I can open and close in order to get rid of extra heat if need be. The heating pad on level 3 puts the temp to round 45.5c which is just to high so I started it on level 2 about 15-20 mins ago and the temp is 37.7 with humidity at 34%. That's from the digital stuff. The thermometer I took from the brinsea is treading round 37.5-38.5c

ebay seller better take the payment or I'm going to paypal and get it stopped and returned and pay £150 more to get the thing through the UK based company for that incubator!

Ya I know the sponge thing was about to do that to...but I think the hubby has been under the kitchen sink now I can't find sponges

A damp paper towel will work

I think you could find a computer fan cheap. Like 5 dollars that is what is in mine. It is small maybe 2inx2in.Your set up should be fine just keep the heat and humidity within parameters.

I have a old laptop that don't work cuz a windows 10 update (it crashed my laptop!) I could rip the fan out of that. I do know the in laws have a old as dirt pc they don't use might make a call. I'm bout ready to jump on a plane to germany to slap that ebay seller what kind of dodo does not check for a payment SERIOUSLY!

thought about it but the fan has bad the thing stink something bad and don't want to risk it. I have debated about buying a new plug and fan for it but don't feel like blowing £27 or roughly $39 for both. specially when I basically have everything to make a kiki type ghetto incubator

btw I love the term now remind me who it was that came up with that one cuz they need a thank you lol

@pitbullmomma named the ghetto bator!
