Reptile eggs and Sportsman?

[WriterofWords]

Someone just asked me if you can hatch reptile eggs in the Sportsman cabinet bators and hatchers. I didn't know what to say, does anyone know?

Uhhhh....

That's a good one! LOL

I guess I would look up temperature requirements for reptile eggs and compare it to the incubator specs. Doesn't temp effect sex of reptiles? (Or is that just gators?)

I have no vague idea! LOL... but I told them I might be able to find out on here. I've just been looking them up, but I'm not into reptiles at all.

What kind of reptile? If the sportsman bator can get to 80F with gecko eggs then yes! They cant be turned so can you manually take off the turner for it?

I don't know what kind of reptile. They reason they asked me is I put my cabinet Sportsman, the hatcher back up for sale, and if it does work they want it. But I sure don't want to sell them something they can't use.

See if you can get to it to 80F. If you can stop the turner manually then it should work perfectly. I am going to use my brower as a reptile bator till I can afford the juragon.

It's the hatcher, it doesn't turn. I imagine if they used the wafer instead of the programed temp it might work.

It should work. I am sorry I forgot to ask if there is room to add a couple gladware containers? The reason I ask is because almost all eggs needs moist pearlite to be set in.

There's a ton of room, it's a big cabinet bator.

Ok cool! then it should work. I might pick one up so I can hatch a bunch in it!
