Depends on whether or not you are getting the humidity and temperatures you're looking for. Adding Water to the reservoir will help increase or maintain overall temps and humidity, so adjust accordingly. Hope that helps.
The '62' on the display for this example refers to the ReptBator's relative humidity. Several care guides can be found online that detail temperatures for incubating Bearded Dragon eggs. Results may vary. Zoo Med has personally hatched Bearded Dragons eggs at 84 degrees. Hope that helps.
Depending on how you have your eggs set up, some adjustments may be needed when adding water. Overall though, it should be an easy process. The bottom is a reservoir, so as long as you have access to one corner of the sponge you can lift it up and pour into the reservoir. You can also add water directly to the sponge insert and the water will disperse inside the sponge.
Yes, the Reptibator is made of a styrofoam material. In our own personal experience we've had several successful hatchings. I hope you give it a try. :)
It can vary. Take into consideration the temperature and humidity of the room that you are keeping the ReptiBator. Adjust your setup accordingly if you feel the additional humidity is needed. Always research the eggs you plan on keeping. Hope that helps.
If you aren't receiving the humidity levels you want, then chances are your ReptiBator needs water. How often you need to add water can vary depending on your settings and the amount of water you put in. Water can be added by lifting up the foam insert and adding it to the reservoir, or simply pouring it on the foam itself. Hope that answers your question. Take care.
Looks like a great product! Is the container styrofoam? I was thinking it might be better coating the styrofoam with a stronger material. On the other hand, I've had styrofoam coolers that have lasted years so I'm not sure what to think about that. I like it, if I get back into herps I'll try to keep this product in mind.
While possible, it isn't recommended. They share similar environments, but chances are the Bearded Dragon will outcompete the Leopard Gecko for food, and possibly hurt (either directly or indirectly) the Leopard Gecko due to their size difference. If you do decide to have the two coexist, make sure there is ample living space for both and that the specific needs of each animal are met. Always research the animals you plan on taking care of. Hope that answers your question. Take care.
When are this comming to Sweden again? been waiting on my incubator from Näset clklidhobby shop in Swden but they have not got any date for when they get the shipping from you.

hello a friend on mine gave the reptibator to me and i would like to know how would i go about cleaning it because it smells funky and i dont want to cause any harm to my bearded dragon eggs from mold or any kind of bacteria. so what would be the best way to clean this incubator?
Adding water to the ReptiBator increases the overall humidity of the incubator, as well as the temperature. Whether water is needed or not depends on the type of eggs you are keeping and if the recommended temperatures are being met. Take into account the temperature and temperature change in the area you are keeping the ReptiBator, and adjust the water intake accordingly. Hope that answers your question.
for some reason i cant reply to ANY comments so im giving you an update in a new post. my quail eggs are starting to pip. its day 18. i turned them myself 3x a day. i had 14 eggs. one i know was a dud from the start. so may as well say 13 eggs. i will post to let you know how many actually hatch out :)
so how are you supposed to keep humidity up high right level, as look at the bottom of incubator the gray sponge and water under neath it drys out very soon so how are you supposed to fill the inner layers with water under sponge again with out disturbing eggs and removing lid
Hey Zoomed, I am starting to breed leopard geckos, and I was wondering how much water I needed to put on the bottom "if needed". But if it's needed how much water should I put on the bottom?
No, the red light indicates that the heating element is currently active. It should fluctuate ON/OFF once it reaches the set temp as it self regulates. Contact our Customer Service for more details: 1-888-496-6633 Hope that helps.
I just got my new Reptibator a coupe of days ago. I set it up two days before I added the eggs. I have water in the recesses in the bottom, the sponge is damp, and the humidity is still only 72% according to the display on the reptibator. The eggs are in plastic tubs, with moistened vermiculite, with lids on them. the lids have 1/4" holes in them for ventilation. I am hoping the RH level is more than 72% inside the tubs. I noticed in the video, that you have no extra means of gauging the humidity at egg level. Thoughts? Thanks
We do recommend using our Digital Thermometer ( links.zoomed.com/th-24 ) in unison with our ReptiBator for the best results. The Digital Thermometer will help provide a more focused temp gauging. Contact our Customer service for more details: zoomed@zoomed.com
well the results are in. just a few days late for this update.. i had 14 quail eggs, 12 hatched!! 1 was not fertile and the other one would have hatched had my incubator not gotten unplugged from one of my cats. I was able to save the 2 last just hatched wet chicks by popping them in the warm brooder, but the last egg, didn't make it. When i opened the egg, it was 100 percent developed! so my personal opinion, this reptile incubator works great for quail eggs, just need to turn them yourself 3x a day. would have been a 100% hatch if my cat didnt bump the cord (extention cord plug is loose) next time, i wont be using that cord! lol :)
Hello, I bought this incubator to incubate sulcata tortoise eggs and I would like to know if it is necessary to close the containers or they can be kept open. Regards thank you very much
It's just an option. Do what you think works best for your unique setup in recreating their natural nesting environment. Hope that helps. Good luck! :)
It can vary depending on your setup. Ambient room temperature, air circulation, and other factors of where you are keeping ReptiBator can play a part in how effective it is. Take this into account when setting up ReptiBator and add water if you feel it necessary to reach the levels you are looking for. If possible, have your ReptiBator tested and prepared before using. Hope that answers your question. Take care. :)
Depends on your Incubator setup and what temps you're looking for. Incubation isn't an exact science. It's up to you to work out what works best for your setup. Hope that helps.
I have the greatest idea: you guys should make a digital scale for weighing reptiles called the repti-scale! Then people would want to buy your scale more than the others because it will be specially made for reptiles and you should make it cost less than the other digital scales, you would make so many sales! (give me credit for the idea if you like it)
hey do u offer an incubation media sold by zoo med for iguanas ? or can u tell me what incubation media you use in the reptibator and how much the reptibator weights?
Our ReptiBator incubator weighs about 5 pounds by itself. We currently don't produce our own incubation media. Check out this page for information on Iguana incubation: www.herpcenter.com/reptile-caresheets/green-iguana/iguana-egg-incubation.html
J & M guitars It's difficult to say. It depends on the unique structure, temperature, and setup of the room you are using to incubate. You'll have to gauge and adjust yourself for best results. Hope that helps.
That's completely up to you. It all depends on whether you are getting the temperatures you want for your eggs. Experiment with different setups to find which one works best for you. Hope that helps.
Luis Luque Different eggs have different incubation requirements. This video shows how to set up the ReptiBator. We recommend doing further research on your specific species to determine what the specific incubation requirements and egg care are.
Incubation isn't an exact science and recommendations can vary from reptile to reptile. We use a variety of combinations for different reptiles. Many Zoo Med substrates can be beneficial for incubation. The best you can do is research the breeding behaviors of the reptile you want to incubate eggs for and try to match those conditions as best you can. You'll have to determine yourself what ratios will work for your unique setup. Hope that helps. Good luck!
The ReptiBator comes with an included foam sponge insert to set your egg containers on, as well as help keep humidity inside the ReptiBator if needed. As for incubation material for eggs, we use a variety of different substrates depending on what eggs we're keeping. Always research the needs of the specific eggs you're incubating and adjust your setup accordingly.
That may be the difference in thermometer placement. For the best results, it's always a good idea to use multiple thermometers like our Digital Thermometer: links.zoomed.com/th-24
I just purchased this incubator recently and just opened it to set it up today. I have leopard geckos and not sure how much water to put in the reservoir. I am incubating them for female so between 80 and 82°F how much water should I use.? Also what should the humidity be?

We're currently not incubating those particular tortoises at this time, but we generally try to match the natural nesting area of that species. Eco Earth mixed with some of our ReptiSand is one of our go-tos. Hatch Rite and Vermiculite are also good choices. Research the specific species you plan on incubating eggs for and adjust their incubation material accordingly. Hope that helps some. Take care.
Hi guys, the temp inside my actual snake egg box drops by a couple of degrees during the night from a day time average of 88-89 to 86-87 during the night, is this ok?Thanks.
A few degrees shouldn't be an issue, after all a drop in temperature during night hours is natural. As long as the incubator is functioning and keeping temperatures at a relative consistency, it should be fine.

It can vary depending on whether or not you are getting the humidity and temperatures you're looking for. Adding water will help raise humidity. Adjust your set up accordingly.
Yes, depending on how it's setup, the ReptiBator could work for Tarantula egg incubation. When incubating, always try to mimic the natural nesting area of species you're breeding for the best results. Hope that helps, Good luck! :)
CamboMC Many reptiles dig a nest and bury their eggs in the earth so they are incubated (naturally) in complete darkness. By using a non-light emitting heat source in the ReptiBator, keepers have the ability to incubate their eggs in the method they see fit, whether it be in darkness or with the incubator in a room with plenty of light.
You'll have to research the species you plan on incubating, and their natural habitat to plan their incubation accordingly. Incubation isn't an exact science, expect some trial and error as you find what works best for your setup. Hope that helps. :)
The ReptiBator is available wherever Zoo Med products are sold. Check with your local pet retailer and see if they carry or are available to order. Contact our Customer Service for more info: zoomed@zoomed.com
Gosh,I set the temp to 89 degrees and I checked the temp of the eggs and it was 94 degrees.You have no instructions of how to set the temp probe also.I got a clutch of super fancy ball python eggs in limbo now.Im very unhappy.
We recommend recreating their natural habitat as best you can. There are a variety of great substrates to use or mix for incubation. Check out our website for what we have to offer: www.zoomed.com
Incubation isn't an exact science, and techniques can vary from keeper to keeper. For Leopard Gecko eggs, you may find success in keeping them in the low-80ºF to mid-90ºF range. You'll have to research and experiment yourself to find what works best for your setup. Hope that helps some. Good luck! ~DF

Do you guys add water to both incubator and incubation substrate for leopard gecko eggs
It can vary depending on whether or not you are getting the humidity and temperatures you're looking for. Adding water will help raise humidity. Adjust your set up accordingly.
Do you sell any of your reptiles?
Sorry, our Reptiles aren't for sale. :)
Thank you, that helped a lot!
could this be used for tarantula eggs?
Yes, depending on how it's setup, the ReptiBator could work for Tarantula egg incubation. When incubating, always try to mimic the natural nesting area of species you're breeding for the best results. Hope that helps, Good luck! :)
what type of heating element is this incubator using?
CamboMC The ReptiBator has a rigid, 55-watt heating element.
Zoo Med Laboratories Do you know the manufacturer for this heating element? I'm doing a school project and I am looking into potential heat sources.
CamboMC You'll have to contact our Customer Service for that information. They can be reached at: zoomed@zoomed.com
Zoo Med Laboratories wouldn't it be preferable to incubate reptiles under light rather than only using heat?
CamboMC Many reptiles dig a nest and bury their eggs in the earth so they are incubated (naturally) in complete darkness. By using a non-light emitting heat source in the ReptiBator, keepers have the ability to incubate their eggs in the method they see fit, whether it be in darkness or with the incubator in a room with plenty of light.
The heating light does not come on when i set the temp

How do you determine what temperature and what humidity your eggs should have when you are incubating them?
You'll have to research the species you plan on incubating, and their natural habitat to plan their incubation accordingly. Incubation isn't an exact science, expect some trial and error as you find what works best for your setup. Hope that helps. :)

What is optimal hatching temperature of leopard gecko eggs?
Incubation isn't an exact science, and techniques can vary from keeper to keeper. For Leopard Gecko eggs, you may find success in keeping them in the low-80ºF to mid-90ºF range. You'll have to research and experiment yourself to find what works best for your setup. Hope that helps some. Good luck!
