There are many species that require temperatures that are not practical to maintain for most keepers. When the eggs are laid you can put in the same space for them to incubate and hatch. So colubrids can be put in hibernation even in the hot summer months. No more worrying about a garage getting too warm or too cold during the hibernation period. With our incubator you can set a desired hibernation temperature like 55☏ for instance, put your rack trays with lids in the incubator and hibernate your animals. Many people will achieve this by placing the animals in a cold garage during the winter months to simulate a hibernation period. Many species of colubrids require a hibernation period in order to successfully reproduce. Now with our homeostatic incubators our eggs will incubate at the set temperatureat at any age of development. When this happened to us in the past we had to vent our incubator by cracking the door to keep it from overheating. When eggs near hatching they will often generate enough heat to make the incubator surpass the set incubation temperature. We can now place these incubators anywhere in our facility including the hot warehouse and incubate our gecko eggs at 72☏.

This makes placement of a traditional incubator very difficult since most reptile rooms are kept above 72☏. If females are desired incubation should be set to 72☏. For instance Chahoua Geckos sex is determined by the incubation temperature. Cooling allows you to put the incubator in a room that is warmer or cooler than the desired incubation temperature. The ability to cool as well as heat make these incubators much more than just another reptile incubator. Our incubators will incubate any species of reptile egg with percision and an accurate adherence to the desired set point regardless of the external room temperature. These incubators achieve this homeostatic condition by heating or cooling depending on external factors to maintain the set temperature.Īll our incubators come with locking glass doors, thermostat with continual monitored temp display, LED lights, air circulation system with activated carbon filtration, heating and cooling.

It maintains the set temperature without regard to the external temperature. Our Homeostatic Reptile Incubator does just what the name implies. Homeostasis is defined as a state of steady internal conditions in spite of external variables.
