The RL1, as well as our other herpetological and bird incubators, are built with time tested, proven components and engineering which help to achieve and maintain a stable incubation environment eliminating the risk of outside drafts. The RL1 incubator is controlled with a highly accurate solid state ten-turn temperature control. This unit also includes a secondary thermal wafer thermostat as a back-up over temperature protection device. An adjustable air intake system provides superior gas exchange between the inside and the outside of the incubation chamber. The RL1 comes with two, one-inch lipped, powder coated sliding trays that can support up to four plastic hatching boxes, thus allowing air circulation to maintain uniform temperature inside the containers.
Humidity is controlled by mixing water with the incubation medium.
The unit comes equipped with a laboratory grade mercury thermometer accurate to approximately half a degree Fahrenheit. The Deluxe RL1 includes four plastic boxes and enough vermiculite to be used as a medium.
