I wanted to share this development with reptile breeders -
I work with a small Los Angeles-based company called TriTech Research. Tritech manufactures and sells incubators that were originally intended for use in lab research and cell culture. Recently, I learned that a reptile breeder used the Tritech standard DigiTherm incubator for his chameleons, and was extremely successful with it. I am reading about reptile breeders struggling to maximize their viable eggs because of how delicate the incubation process is, so I wanted to share this option. A breeder shared that he was able to get $75,000 worth of Parsons chameleons out of one lot of eggs with this incubator.
The standard incubator is pricey - $1000 for the basic package - but well worth it if you have difficulty breeding your reptiles. The incubator is capable of circadian lighting, as well as circadian heating and cooling via computer interface. It can also maintain 70-80% internal humidity if a water tray is placed inside because it is a closed system that does not circulate outside air.
