Dear Kenton, Yes, they come with a hatching habitat. There is a company by the name of BioLogic selling a knock off.They do not include the hatching habitat, all they include is a bag. You can file an A-Z claim with Amazon and get your money back.Please be sure to order from BugSales.

I assume they mean the funky box in came in. Or the straw like substance in the bag. (The straw like substance might provide some protection for the young once they hatch.)

The Controller would appear to be sealed. However, I haven't gotten it wet. How does water get in: my hatches are water tight?

It doesn't have a perch, but u could put a upside down shoe box in there. Its a bit smaller than I realized. The nest area lid folds open for nice access. I use pine chips or straw for bedding. I just recently put it in the barn to keep the 6 young bantams warm. Nights r getting too cold. Good luck

There is no inner and outer shell. The whole thing is about a half-inch of styrofoam, maybe a little thicker. I can, however, tell you that this is the best incubator I've used. We just had a 92% hatch rate from our first hatching and I'm sitting next to it with the temperature holding like a rock at 99 F for our second hatching of the season.

I am a bit of a Newbie too. I will ask my friend who has been helping me and answer again if he says different. I am not familiar with a hatch pad but there is not much room between the screen and the egg turner. You can remove the turner and just turn by hand to make more room. Also I don't know if the hatch pad is porous or if it would block or interfere with the humidity from below. None of my chicks got caught in the screen. A few got stuck on their backs in the egg turners. My biggest concern is that the heater coil on the lid can create a nasty burn. My friend burned his hand on it. Not much feathers on the little chicks just hatched and all wet! It never turned out to be a problem tho.

I would say that the middle perch is more of a stepping stone to get up to the top perch. Sitting only room for that perch. Laying is for the top perch.

I just bought mine the middle of this summer and there is no nest, but, I did see a couple wrens checking it out, inside. They decided on one of the woven nest I have. Though there is no nest in it either, they sleep in it every night.

I have it in my finch cage right now. I used it as a nesting box and there is a baby bird in it and an egg. My finch cage is an 18" x 18" x 30" flight cage. I put torn cotton balls inside it and they nested in it the same day.

Marilyn, I purchased five praying mantis egg cases a few weeks ago, and I placed them in my vegetable gardens. They all hatched and there for a while I had zillions. (One case hatched on my dining room table overnight. I was sitting at the table and saw probably a couple hundred on my shirt, arms and plate! It was funny. I gathered them up on a sheet of paper best I could.) They are wonderful to watch. You might keep some in a terrarium, but the little guys start eating each other pretty soon. So after they hatch in the terrarium, take ' em outside and remove the lid. All mine are outside now, and occaisionally, one will stop by and say "hello"., a little bigger than before. Have fun!Tom Marilyn, I purchased five praying mantis egg cases a few weeks ago, and I placed them in my vegetable gardens. They all hatched and there for a while I had zillions.

As I remember, it was printed on the bottom of something, look underneath. Just watch it, mine hatched a bunch of insects!

Good qu. not sure I can answer. but I'd hatch them indoors if you cant give them an area outside under 80 degrees. Buy a screened in case or put them on a plant indoors that you can move into the shade after they hatch. could be a hundred of them.... good luck!

The first hatch Pleos are exactly the same as those being sold now but they did come with a gold ID card identifying them as one of the first 2000 released. People who'd been following the development of Pleo pre-ordered these from the manufacturer (Ugobe) with the promise of being first to have them. They didn't cost any more, either, so you'd have to be a real Pleo fan(atic) to pay more for that little gold card. :-)

Hi. We hatched out chicks last month. When the time was up, it just kept running. We had it running for an extra day and it did not shut off until we turned it off. Good luck with your hatch!

I never tried hatching reptiles..what i know is, it holds temperature well and didn't fluctuate too much..so if you set it to the correct temperature and humidity..and turn them as you should then i don't see why it would be much different.

It is in the description. They are three different sizes and nest together.

You can use it to hatch, just take it off the turner cradle. If you haven't already purchased this item, be aware that evidently the United States warranty is only 6 months, no matter what they tell you at time of purchase. My incubator lasted almost a year before having problems, so I don't know if they would back even the 6 months, what I do know is that you can't get parts for it to fix. This is a disposable incubator, when it works its great, when the sensor fails,( for me after about 8 hatches) no one will sell you a replacement. And suddenly the 2 year warranty from registering it on the internet has been changed to 6 months because you live in the United States. You can use it to hatch, just take it off the turner cradle.
