What size polystyrene box do people recommend to use for a incubator ?

Many thanks

Hiya,

So long as you can fit the eggs into the base it doesn't matter too much. Best not to get a box that has too much height though, as they can be difficult to maintain the required humidity.

Hi, have you seen the article we produced on making your own incubator, here is the link to it (under tortoise in the lefthand column) http://www.tortoise-protection-group.org.uk/site/154.asp

I followed it and have 8 little babies to show for it!!
