Can I use a poultry incubator for incubating other species such as reptiles?

We do not recommend using poultry incubators for reptile incubation. Reptiles require vert different temperatures and humidity levels to poultry and in so have different calibrated working ranges.

Poultry incubators a required to be set at usually 37.5c andmost will have a range of 34c-38c (varies depending on the incubator), this means if the temperature is set anywhere between 34c-38c it will work at its best, if it set outside of this range it may struggle to hold and regulate the temperature effectively.

Reptile incubation will require a temperature of 26c-32c, if you where to set a poultry incubators at this low level it would struggle to hold and regulate that temperature as it is outside of it working range/tolerance.

Reptile incuabtors are calibrated specifically to work its best between 26-33c (varies depending on the incubator), which ensures it can holding/regulate the temperature to provide optimum conditions for incubation.
