    Default Woot! First Eggs for us.

    Well in a panic we realized that our bigger female beardie was seriously gravid and I went about finding the nearest suitable wine cooler, in a pinch we stole a large heatpad from another enclosure to regulate with a thermostat mounted to the back of the cooler ( so need to grab some heat tape and swap it out).

    We got it running a nice stable temp now so we ploppped the big girl into the big rubbermaid lay box and TADA!!

    forgot to grab some pics before we sealed them up but here they are, all 32!

    Forgive the redneck incubator :P

    Congrats! Until you have aquarium heaters in pickle jars in a large styrofoam cooler, that's not a redneck incubator at all

    That looks quite nice actually.

    All i had to do to seal this one up was silicone a small blue styrofoam block into a square in the back of it where the heat transfer unit was and plugged a moisture drain so I am pretty pleased with myself, there is even a small cfm fan that I left running in the back for air circulation. I am not sure where the temperature readout probe is that displays in Celcius on the door but it is only .5 off of the racks temp readout on my external thermometer.
    I even spliced into the units ac power cord before it meets the transformer to run it all off one plug. I would like to swap out the simple dimmer switch that controls the heatpad for a digital controller.
