Hovabator question please help!

I have several dragons im looking at starting to breed in May. i bought a brand new hovabator incubater off someone that never used it for 20 bucks. It does have a fan and im worried about drying out the eggs. Can i disconnect the fan and just use the heating element? Will the fan cause the eggs to dry out? The model number is 2362n 28.3 watt 115 volt ac and is the circulated air model.

Thanks to all !

You can use the hovabator with the fan or probably disconnect the wires if you'd like. If you use the fan, I reccomend putting the eggs in sandwich size deli containers with the proper substrate mix(50/50 by weight vermiculite and water works well) and drill/melt 1 or 2, 1/8" holes in 1 side of the tub, you should see a little condensation itn the tubs all the time, make sure you put the lid on the deli cups. Get 1 set up before you get any eggs, and see how it works out. Good luck

I found the hovabator thermostat very inaccurate. Temps fluxuate with drops in line voltage. Therefore I built several incubators in three different sizes using the helix contoller. I have also found the halogen lights to be hotter so you dont need very many to get to 85 degrees...If you are going to bread animals I would spend 200.00 and buy a good incubator with a good controller.
