i have never used an incubator with this one what would i have to do and can i put 10 eggs today and then a few days later add more eggs thanks

Yes, you can add eggs later. The later ones will obviously hatch later if you have brought the early up to temp when you put them in.

I would recommend an incubator that has a self turner. It was very difficult to turn the eggs the way the needed to be turned due to circumstances and schedules. I would not purchase this one again as it is also very hard to maintain temperature and humidity.

hello do not buy it for me, if not for my father that if used in Cuba, but has not born chicks can not lay more eggs.

not the best idea, but you can just save the 10 eggs you have until you have all you intend to set, you can store hatching eggs up to about a month just keep them in an area with stable temp

I would reconsider about getting this one. But if you do decide to get this one, good luck:)! Hope you have success. This incubator requires a LOT of work maintaining the temperature, humidity and turning the eggs. It comes with instructions. I would put all of the eggs in together. It is very difficult when you have different eggs on different days.

Ramon, In theory, yes. The incubator comes with a '?' setting for birds not preprogrammed in the unit. What this basically means is that you set the number of days for the incubation period. The second issue is size. If the eggs are smaller than a goose egg, then you should be able to fit two in the incubator. I hope this helps. Regards, Pacific Star Corp.

Nope, just temperature and that sensor failed on me as soon as it was out of warantee cooking the eggs, another one only cooled, wouldn't heat - manufacturer and warantee company wouldn't even allow me to get a replacement sensor if I paid for it. If you get an incubator go here to buy a temp alarm. I would never buy exo terra, it's asking for trouble.

Hi. We hatched out chicks last month. When the time was up, it just kept running. We had it running for an extra day and it did not shut off until we turned it off. Good luck with your hatch!

No you have to keep adding water but it works great I hatched out 33 eggs from green tree pythons with this incubator

first, only use 3 eggs. Do not overfill. Turn it on, close lid and wait for it to finish. simple.

You can poach two eggs at a time. There is a tray with two sides. Just add an egg to each side.

I made a paper towel cut out that looked just like the plate in the Brinsea, with the egg slots cut out and all, and used it from day one....you don't want to be opening up the incubator unless you absolutely have to ~

well I also have 20 eggs in mine right now and we have almost the same readings and I have found that most temp gauges will read a little diff every time. Just don't let it get below 98.5 at tray and you should be ok as I have hatched twice now and it worked for me. Good luck and I hope this helped

I had the same concern. I just made sure I was efficient at it. I had 42 eggs in mine. After a few times I was able to turn them in 45 seconds lid off to lid on. The temp drops for a few minutes but not enuf, long enuf to matter. I had a low hatch rate but only because I had quite a few eggs that were either unfertilized or died before I put them in the incubator. All the eggs that started growing hatched just fine. Plan to do the same thing this spring. Only thing I'll change is how I collect and store the eggs until I am ready to start.

From the instructions I read, it seems you can incubate any type of egg as long as it fits in the tray. If the eggs are very tiny then you would want to buy the separate smaller rotating tray. The temperature and incubation period on this incubator can be customized for different bird species. Good luck with your hatch!

Depends on the size of the eggs. I can get 30-35 box turtle eggs in the unit at one time with trays. Eggs from a python are bigger so there's less space. Also the size of the trays are something to consider As well.

do not buy neither one of them,i have one and it does not hatch eggs at all,it burns the baby inside the eggs. i would not buy this incubator ever again. they are to high and are not worst the money,junk!

Just put it in the water with the eggs while you boiling the eggs, depending how you want your eggs it will tell you when the are ready.

I have no experience with this product. I purchased it as gift and the recipient said it did not come with eggs. I recommend you connect with the seller. Best wishes.
