Exo Terra Precision Incubator PRO (PT2444)
Exo Terra Reptile Incubation Tub
Eggs held above the medium, not sitting in it. The Exo Terra Incubation Tub uses a suspended incubation method — eggs sit on a tray held clear of the substrate and water below, rather than nestled directly into medium. It's sized to fit inside the Exo Terra Precision Incubator PRO, and its clear body means you can check on a clutch without lifting the lid and disturbing the chamber's temperature or humidity.
Key features
- Suspended incubation method — eggs rest on a tray with a minimum 4 mm clearance above the substrate and water, rather than buried in medium.
- Built-in thermometer — lets you check the temperature at egg level without opening the incubator.
- Clear, transparent body — candle and inspect eggs through the tub without disturbing the clutch.
- Substrate-less design reduces mould risk — because eggs don't sit in damp medium directly.
- Ventilated lid — one pre-drilled pinhole balances air exchange with humidity retention; extra holes can be added for eggs needing more airflow.
- Reusable — washable for repeat clutches.

Setup and use
Add roughly 1 cm of your chosen medium — vermiculite, perlite, or a water gel — to the base, plus about 100 mL of water. Fit the egg tray so it sits at least 4 mm clear of the medium, and place eggs on top without rotating them from their original orientation. Check weekly and top up water as it's used, using the clear body to check on the clutch between full lid-openings.
