Planning ahead for future breeding

[Gina.]

Okay, i'm planning to breed corn snakes in the future, but I would like to sort out costs for eveything first.

And i'm guessing with an incubator, a thermostat would be needed?
I'm thinking about using a hovabator (no way can I make an incubator myself!)

So which thermostat would be the best to use with one?

Thanks :]

i believe home made vivs are the best you can go with. expensive doesnt always mean better imo.

a pulse stat is the best, a bit pricey but well worth it. there are plenty of tutorials on how to make a home made incubator. far cheaper and can be custom made to your needs.

if in doubt ask

Hovabators come with a wafer-type thermostat. I've used the type; it works acceptably though there are better (and more expensive) thermostats on the market.

you will need a rack for the babys
incubator for the eggs home made polly box type thing works well
viv's for the breeders
I think the most important thing to think about is how many eggs you are gonna hatch as you could end up getting stuck with loads of hatchlings you cant sell quickly

Ah okay thank you wasn't sure whether it would come with a good enough thermostat or whether I would need to buy one, I probably will buy another one just to be sure
