Hi everyone - I am new to breeding snakes, this year will be my first year time. I am looking at the Hova-Bator incubators. I thought that I would get the one with the turbofan and the top window that you can see all of the eggs. I was wondering if you all thought that was the best one to get? any advice that you can give me is very much appreciated. Also, does anyone know how many eggs will fit in one of these incubators? Thanks for all of your help in advance.
 
I built my own incubator but have known people who used a Hovabator.

A fan is unnecessary because the eggs would be in a closed box inside the incubator. This is to keep humidity high around the eggs and to keep hatchlings from escaping or getting into the incubator's heating element.

I don't think a Hovabator can hold more than one clutch of corn snake eggs.
 
I use hovabators without the fans for my gecko eggs. The corns are incubated in my snake room which hovers between 79 and 83 degrees. I really like the hovabators, but the incubator cost me about $60 while the herpstat pro II cost me about $150 ;) lol! You're taking big risks if you trust the rinky dink thermostat that the hovabator comes with. I'd caution to use AT LEAST a cheaper thermostat as back up to the built in one.

I use hovabators without any issues. But I did buy my own thermometer for them. I was able to place 3 clutches in each last season. I used glad containers inside the incubator to make sure the eggs did not get mixed up. The containers had holes in them and I made sure the hovabator had water in it at all times.

I have no complaints except for the thermometer....
