I`m going to make an incubator and try to hatch some eggs, I`m wondering what size Styrofoam cooler everyone is using and where they got it.
I have only been able to find them at Walmart and they look tiny and flimsy.
The pet store says they get some when they get fish plants in but wont have anymore until Friday but i have no idea what they look like or how big....Anyone know?

Thanks
 
My computer is being mean Ill be back after restarting and see if its better . did the pictures I try to down load work at all

My big ol feet are the only size refrance in there till I can find my tape mesure and measure them. I wear a mens 9 1/2 wide and a womens 10 1/2 wide so I got some big feet lol.

Yes and not only is free good. But we are reuseing something that might just get throw into our land fills otherwise. Have you seen sally' s link to the instructions to her cooler bator its an awsome home made bator.
 
Not sure if i have seen Sally`s incubator instructions, I will see if i can find it. Thanks for your help

AWESOME!! you will love the homemade bator..... link is in my signature!! and all my other notes are in articles found there too!

Size all depends on how many eggs you want to set! I used a med cooler and would love to make a bigger one so I can use one as a hatcher instead of my styro bator.... hate my bought styro!!
