"Ideal for hobbyists, elementary schools and small-scale breeders"

Brinsea's still air incubators are recognized as long-standing class leaders. They offer an unbeatable combination of reliability, longevity, simplicity and value for money. The natural convection system in Brinsea's still air egg incubator range provides near ideal conditions for hatching and is flexible and easy to use.

Reptile eggs require particular conditions to hatch successfully and Brinsea Products, the Incubation Specialists, can now provide the equipment needed to precisely match the needs of reptile breeders.

Reptiles eggs develop best in warm humid conditions and buried in a clean, absorbent material. Temperature control can affect the sex of the hatchlings as well as the number that successfully hatch and so must be consistent, stable and accurately controllable. Reptile eggs absorb moisture during incubation (unlike bird's eggs) and require very high humidity levels to prevent dehydration. Unlike bird's eggs they must not be turned. The very long incubation periods for many reptiles can cause problems with hygiene allowing bacteria to grow in the warm humid environment.

The Brinsea Hatchmaker R Reptile Egg Incubator has been developed by Brinsea to provide these conditions in a complete product that is also safe and reliable and complete with detailed instructions for the novice or expert reptile breeder. 

• Main Features

• Still-Air Egg Incubator
• Electronic Thermostat
• Thermometer
• Vermiculite included

The Brinsea Hatchmaker R Reptile Egg Incubatorcan be used effectively to incubate from day one through to hatching. The Brinsea Hatchmaker R Reptile Egg Incubatorcan also be used as a hatcher for reptiles.

• Temperature Control

Temperature control is provided by Brinsea's proven electronic thermostat which gives very accurate and stable control unaffected by voltage variations and changes in barometric pressure.

The sensor and thermometer are mounted in a swivel clip which facilitates easy adjustment to suit a wide range of egg sizes.

Temperature adjustment is made by turning an externally mounted spindle. This multi-turn device allows very fine adjustment of temperature and is not easily turned accidentally.

The thermostat can be finely adjusted without opening the lid.

• Cabinet

The Brinsea Hatchmaker R Reptile Egg Incubator is molded from integrally skinned structural polyurethane which has a core of thermal insulation and hard, durable, impervious surfaces making it readily washable and tough enough to withstand scrubbing.

Polyurethane is amongst the toughest of plastics and must not be confused with cheap, fragile alternatives like expanded polystyrene. The excellent thermal properties of polyurethane foam result in low heat losses and low power consumption.

The egg incubator cabinet is tough and well insulated with an observation window

• Humidity and Ventilation

The Brinsea Hatchmaker R Reptile Egg Incubator has a natural convection system and provides near ideal conditions for hatching and is flexible and easy to use.

Inside is the removable, purpose designed reptilian egg chamber which is almost sealed and allows the eggs to be maintained at virtually 100% humidity.

Oxygen supply to the chamber is regulated by a simple vent control. The inner chamber is formed from clear plastic and is easily cleaned. The incubation thermometer (built to Brinsea's specification) fits into the lid of the inner chamber and can be viewed through the cabinet window without disturbing the eggs.

Vermiculite, supplied with the egg incubator, half fills the inner chamber and is soaked in water. The eggs are then part buried in the vermiculite. Condensation will not form on the inside of the lid of the chamber while the egg incubator is in use - preventing drips falling on the incubating eggs.
