Awesome video. You guys looked like pro's. It was nice to see the kids just as excited as you guys to fill it with eggs. WTG!

[@Ben_CincySnakes]

Awesome video, I'll need one of these in about 2 years haha

[@FenderFootprints]

Start looking now for a cooler. They can be hard to find.

[@MaritaDeLaPenaDTG]

Very nice build. Looks great:)

[@thawban1]

good one! why didn't you do any holes for oxygen to come inside the incubator, or is it not needed?

[@FenderFootprints]

It’s not needed.

[@100camotommy]

You think 1 twelve inch piece of heat tape down the back would keep it at 90?

[@FenderFootprints]

I think that would depend on outside temperatures and how much area you are trying to heat.

[@backyardedenhomestead]

Thank you for sharing! Do you guys still use this incubator until now? Let me know. Thanks!

[@FenderFootprints]

Yes we do. Works great!

[@shanebeard296]

Great video! Is there a reason why you put the heat tape on the top and sides as opposed to on the center of the back and bottom? I'm about to build one and am not sure where exactly to put the tape and fans.

[@FenderFootprints]

It is not on the top. Only the sides. We chose to do it this way to heat the inside more evenly. We have seen many people have issues with it along the back and then later have to create a false wall to distribute the heat more evenly around the sides. We put the fans where we thought they would do the best. The fans are to push the heat down and circulate throughout the inside.

[@shanebeard296]

Ok, that's what I though. Nice job and thank you for the quick response.

[@bigblue8986]

What is the name of the pliers you used to attach to heat tape

[@FenderFootprints]

They are crimping pliers. We purchased ours from reptilebasics.com when purchasing the heat tape and other supplies.

[@shaungreenlee2376]

Curious, does the humidity effect the computer fan ( AC Infinity Fan) your usingand did it come with all the wiring needed to make it work or was that separate?

[@FenderFootprints]

Most of the humidity is contained in the egg boxes, so I have not seen a difference is function with the fans. The fans did come with complete wiring assembly and control switch.
