Hi the inside is lined with foamed plastic m8 so the outside shouldn't be getting wet and the inside is all lined plastic m8. the wood is marine ply so it is very good with moisture I know me stuff m8

Thanks for the concern it's good to get stuff pointed out as always helps m8

What ya think got to hatch some eggs out 1st to be called a real incubator its on test for temp range now see how it goes but so far looking good put shelves in also really pleased with it so far if anyone can make comments please as in case I have over looked anything it is a good thing.

Thanx m8 but still O.K. so far

Thanks mate its basically a wooden box with a box underneath with a bulb in m8 with wholes then a sliding up glass front and its lined with foamed plastic to keep the moisture in and the wood dry can hold 9 of those locusts tubs so a few egg may make a bigger one see how it goes.

I made a poly box type with heat matt this is a bulb on a dimmer switch its not on much and seems to work fine.

Now my question to you all is how can I improve it?

looking good mate, interesting as I will need a much bigger incubator next season. just one question, is the much variation in temperature between the top and bottom shelves?

No but this unit isnt very big If I was making a larger unit it may vary so would attach heat mat to back wall then it would even it up,

cheers

1 concern I have tho, is it just a light dimmer you are using?
If so it is going to vary the temperature according to the ambient temperature of the room.
I would suggest replacing the dimmer with a dimmer stat to maintain a constant temperature whatever the ambient room temperature.
Yes the room is no doubt central heated but the room can go hotter than the setting on a warm day, also you probably dont have the central heating on 24/7 especially during the summer.

That's interesting as understand what your saying after a continuous test for 48 hrs the only variance was half a degree I would of thought that would be O.K. the box seems to hold a good steady temp to manage with a slight room temp change, Its 20mm thick the wood and the 5mm foamed plastic and glass front must all help with this maybe its the materials I have used seem to cope with ambient room temps the bulb is only just on after warm up.

I may change to a stat if I have it full of eggs and maybe a heat mat also it's my 1st wooden incubator I have done.

My 2nd beardie laid today 5 eggs all no good so maybe I won't need this incubator just yet.... I rescued the Beardies and they were already Gravid I didn't want them to be as they wernt healthy enough, they are getting there maybe now she will get more into her as she wont be giving it to the eggs.



keep them comments coming, may look at that stat and test see how it compares? thanks
