    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....

im the one that posted those xXx pics of my jungle giant albino's. Now that it is probably definite babies are on the way, i need to start getting ready. I need an incubator. Is this one good? here It's the one i saw of Albey's site. What do you guy's use?
 
Actually, the time to get an incubator ready is BEFORE you start breeding. Albey's method is a good one, I have used it for several years. I have switched between vermiculite & perlite, both have pros & cons. I would also recommend getting an incubator ordered soon, sometimes it takes awhile to get stuff shipped. And you need to get the temps steady before the eggs show up.
 
I think the cheepest place to get one is at LLLreptile. I think I paid 35.99 for mine. Well somewhere around that price. Hurry up and get it you dont have much time!
 
You can sometimes find good incubators at local feed and seed stores. I use a little giant, it works really well for me.
 
well i ordered the incubator last night. payed a little extra for 3 days shipping but i guess i need it asap to get temps steady. thanks for replys.
 
one more thing.... it says that the hovabotor 1602 comes with a thermostat but i dunno. i been reading other posts and it says that you need to get a thermostat also. if i do, can anyone tell me which one is good and where i can get one?

I use and recommend Helix thermostats. They are rather expensive, but well worth the peace of mind you get when using one. Also, IMO the best incubators on the market are made by Casey Hulse at Nature's Spirit Reptiles. I use them also and they are just fantastic-

Here is a link-

ok, i was googleing some thermostats and saw alot of sites that recommended Helix. Your right, i feel good going to bed at night knowing my geckos are all happy and will probably feel good knowing my temps will be steady using Helix. Thanks for the recommendation kelli.
 
i purchased an incubator from nsr in february. it is probably the best incubator Ive ever used. the helix theremostat keeps the temps very consistant. which i have learned is very important.i highly recommend it, kirk
