Confirm you have bench space clear of draughts and direct sun, since both affect how hard the thermostat has to work to hold temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSuitable for, and not suitable for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable for incubating reptile eggs across the temperature range most commonly bred species require, from geckos and pythons through to chelonians. Not a brooder or hatchling enclosure — once eggs hatch, hatchlings need to move to an appropriately set-up enclosure. Not rated for use as a general-purpose terrarium heater.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSetup and use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet your target temperature and humidity using the digital controller before adding eggs, and let the unit stabilise for several hours. Zoo Med does not publish incubation temperature and humidity figures for individual species on the incubator itself — check the requirements for your species before setting up, since these vary widely between egg-laying reptiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNot included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEgg containers, incubation medium (such as vermiculite or perlite) and a backup thermometer\/hygrometer are not included and are sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare and maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTop up the water reservoirs as needed to maintain humidity, and clean the reservoirs periodically to prevent mineral buildup and mould.
