GQF Hova Bator incubators have been leading the incubator market for more than 30 years and are extremely popular - offering a 100% success rate for many experienced reptile, bird and poultry breeders.

Here I will be covering the basic features of these incubators, how they compare to other incubators and how to use them for reptile egg incubation.

Basic Features

All Hova Bator incubators have a polystyrene shell and come with their own wafer thermostat and incubator thermometer. They also come with complete set-up instructions (although these are aimed at poultry breeders) and have viewing windows to allow easy viewing without disturbing the atmosphere inside.

GQF also manufacture automatic egg turners which are compatible with any of their incubators and make incubating poultry eggs much easier (these should not be used for reptile eggs).

Models include:

Â• 1602N - Perfect for reptile egg incubation as it uses thermal airflow rather than fan assisted, meaning that the eggs are less likely to dry out. Has two viewing windows on top.

Â• 2362N/2365 - Similar to the 1602N (with two viewing windows on top), but with a turbo fan for better temperature stability and air circulation throughout.

Â• 1583/1586/1588 - These more advanced models are all turbo fan assisted and have large picture windows, making them ideal for classroom hatching projects or breeders with young children who want to be involved in the incubation process. The 1588 model comes with an electronic thermostat rather than a wafer.

The Hova Bator Compared

When looking for a good quality incubator it is important to compare several before making your decision. Here I have compared some of the best incubators on the market with the Hova Bator.

R COM Incubators

R COM incubators are very high specification and are often used by veterinarians and professional breeders as their incubator of choice.

The R COM range is wider than the Hova Bator range, offering many different sizes, however, these incubators are far more expensive (prices start from around $130 US) and are very targeted towards professional poultry breeders.

If you are a professional breeder then the R COM range could definitely be for you as they are far more automatic than other incubators; giving you more time and peace of mind during the incubation process.

As a hobbyist breeder I would still use the Hova Bator, as the success rate is consistently high and I could buy two or three for the price of just one of the R COMs!

Brinsea Incubators

Brinsea is another popular incubator brand, with the 'Octagon' Incubator being its most coveted item.

Brinsea incubators are generally made using black, yellow and clear plastic and although this makes them less aesthetically pleasing than the Hova Bator (in my opinion) it makes them much easier to clean.

These incubators are quite expensive, ranging from around $80 US for a 10 hen egg incubator to around $200 for a standard 24 hen egg one and are aimed towards bird breeders rather than reptile breeders.

Again I would prefer to use the Hova Bator due to its lower price and greater simplicity compared with the Brinsea incubators.

Reptile Egg Incubation with the Hova Bator

One of the things that makes the Hova Bator superior to other incubators, in my eyes, is the fact that you can use it to hatch almost any type of egg.

For reptile egg incubation simply half fill a plastic, lidded tub with moist vermiculite, drill around four to six holes in the lid, make dints in the vermiculite for the eggs to rest in and add them to the tub, replace the lid and carefully place the tub in your Hova Bator (preheated to your desired temperature).

This method has given me a 100% success rate with my leopard geckos so far.
