Hello to you my friend. As it is nearly the season to be jolly i thought i would treat myself.Having spoke to the guys about a new line of incubator they were going to produce, i gave them my requirements and they fabricated the product. I am the first to receive this new design, its made of light weight polished aluminium,and is fitted with two stats. The workmanship on the incubator is excellent, and has eight tubs. I have had plenty of success with styrofoam boxes, empty vivs and a few other homemade incubators i made myself in the past, you dont need anything fancy....but i am very pleased with the end result and i think with this new line the production team are on a winner, long term it should last me a lifetime

Hello mate, nothing wrong with the old polly box, they do the job,i just thought it was time i invested in something like this. However you go about hatching your reptile eggs its a success, they dont know nor care what incubator their in.... you just keep doing what your doing my friend.

Nice incubator. Look like money well spent. About how many eggs could it hold?

Re: My New Incubator From Pro-Rack UK

very nice! im so going to steel this design and build one at work :P i hope you dont mind, if you do, ill build it anyways and lie about it LOL Very very nice tho, it surely is treating yourself but how could you go wrong spending money on an icubator, its the lifeblood of your breeding after all i seen a few people buy old pop coolers like you see in corner stores or pic them up at junk yard and convert them, just an idea for others who wish to build on or have one built as cost effective as possible

Thanks Shaun, John Charles and the guys, really did me proud, its aluminium construction so much lighter than converted chillers/fridges, grateful of that when i had to get it up the stairs. Looks like it makes me look flash, but just like the vivs its practical and i always think long term. I have had the snake bug 30 year..... i dont think it will go away

Hello to you both, your right Freebody, you can construct a great incubator from a drinks chiller(as i have done in the past) the advantage to this one is its lightweight, i am fairly handy and access to a fabrication shop would be an advantage,to construct one like this,. the truth is, its having the time and all the tools and materials to hand. These guys at pro-racks do this for a living and it cost no more than a hatchling blackheaded python so was a good investment, and the guys probably did a better job than me. I see no reason why you should not be successful if you take the project of building an incubator on. Good luck
Percy 39 it holds eight boxes which are marketed over here as Really Useful Boxes they are graded as 9litre and measure 395mm long x 155mm high x 255mm deep, of course larger boxes could also be used 1 per shelf, but this was the specification i wanted.

Sorry marvelfreak i missed you out on the previous thread, as said it holds 8 boxes, capable of holding a woma clutch, i think a large BHP clutch may need 2 boxes however they would probably hold 5 each, they are large eggs and need a bit of room, however as said larger boxes than the ones supplied could easierly be utilised. its certainly big enough for my requirements
