Anyone uses Lucky reptile herp nursery II incubator?

[thorrshamri]

Hello all,

anyone here using this incubator with gecko eggs, especially those to be incubated at relatively low temps? What do users think of this product?

I also wondered if there were any condensation problems on the eggs themselves or on the inside of the incubator?

Thanks for your opinions

I was recently looking at this incubator as well because I had seen quite a few praising it. I asked a few shops that sell it what they thought and every shop that i asked told me that it is one that is frequently returned to them (insufficient temps, high loses, etc). I was recommended to go with a Bruja system or Jaeger, with the first being more recommended.

The herp nursery is meant to be a entry level system, while the other two are more professional grade quality.

Thanks for your reply But if I am not wrong, Jaeger incubators do not have this cooling function the Lucky Reptile one has?

I bought the Lucky reptile herp nursery II, and had to return it to the shop as the temps weren't stable enough. They exchanged it for me and up to now its been great. I dont know about low temps though mine has been incubating stroph williamsi eggs.

Hervé,

I think the cooling function is useless, as the incubator is simply too small to provide space for hibernation of a reasonable number of geckos. Compared to the price, it's not really a good deal.

Cheers
