    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Does anyone own a Natures Spirit Cabinet style incubator. I am thinking about buying one and i need some feedback. has anyone had good luck or bad luck with the actual incubator or does anyone recommend a different type of cabinet style incubator? Please post your opinions....it would greatly help my decision.

thanks

I just received mine about 2 weeks ago, I haven't used it yet, but you can not beat Casey's customer service! It looks to be very well built and is holding temps nicely. Now if I could just fill it...:)
 
Buy it!! You will NOT be disappointed!

I got mine last year and have hatched out crested geckos and leaf-tail geckos as well as Vieled Chameleons and a bunch of other stuff in it and have had ALOT better hatch rate then when I had the hovabator!!

Casey has GREAT customer service and these incubators are truly works of art!! They are amazing!!

I got the one with the Helix and it holds temps like a charm!!

Thanks Erik
 
I haven't used them but have seen them at some of the shows I do & going by build quaility & attention to detail I would go with Casey's design in a heartbeat if I was in need of one.
 
I have the Helix 1000 controlled model and it maintains the temperature very well, within 1/2 degree from top to bottom and front to back. My testing was done with the exterior temperature from ca. 64F to 77F and the set temperature 85F to 89F. I successfully hatched several clutches of python eggs, I will continue to use mine. It's a well built medium size incubator.

You will also not find better customer anywhere. I would recommend the purchase.
 
We bought an incubator from Casey last March. We have hatched more cornsnakes, kingsnakes and bearded dragons this year than ever before, not to mention a few collared lizards and leopard lizards. We have been extremely happy with the incubator. It holds the temperature well and quickly recovers after the door has been open. Ours has been running nonstop for the last 10 months, and I look forward to keeping it that way for several months to come. In my opinion, you will not find a better incubator anywhere!
 
I have one of Casey's incubators and love it. It has been very dependable and keeps an accurate even temp. Casey also has THE BEST customer service and stands behind what he sells! Definite "Good Guy" and is safe to buy from.
 
It looks like you already made up your mind...but in case you didn't...I would like to echo some of the things already stated here.

Number one you can never go wrong buying anything from Casey and Darla. They are wonderful people. Casey takes a great amount of pride in everything he does...and it definitely shows in the end product. His customer service is also second to none...I can't say enough about the Hulse's...just wonderful people to do business with...

As for the incubators...best value for the money in the herp industry today, in my opinion. You can spend more...and get an incuabtor that might work AS well...but you will not find a better incubator for the price than the Nature's Spirit...I have had the privledge to see several of the prototype models Casey built over the years...and even the first one, which isn't as advanced as the current ones, has been holding temp for over 5 years.

That alone should be testament that these incubators are made to last...and well worth the price.
 
I just got my new incubator from Casey, and it came ahead of schedule, looks GREAT, is well-built, and I am looking forward to getting it set up this weekend!
 
I bought one of Casey's incubators at the Valpo, IN show last week. I haven't had a chance to use it yet but I own seven of Casy's racks and if it performs the way the racks do, I'm sure I will see results like those in the above posts.
 
I have one that I like very well - hatched out 80 ball python eggs in it last summer. Might want to drape a blanket over it for some extra insulation.
