Always wanted to convert one of these! This thing is a monster! Stands about 6ft tall and should hold plenty of ball eggs in the next couple years to come!

I have all the shelving and everything just need to wire up the flexwatt and pickup a nice proportional T-Stat. There's also about a 10" fan as well up top that will help circulate that hot air for us!

Best of luck to everyone this season! :cheers:

Good luck with that. Hell, that's big enough to do a batch or two of burm eggs LOL

very nice i found a bunch outside a local distributing plant by me i am going to stop and tryto get one someday

Congrats Steve! I had a double door model years ago and I loved it! It was still functional (for a while) so I would cycle colubrids through brumation in the summer so I had babies all year round! After it went caput, I converted it to a bator.... wish I still had that monster... of course I couldnt fill it up these days!!!!

I've been watching for one of those for a couple years now. The problem for me is there is a company that refurbishes them locally, so I can never find a cheap one. I've asked that company if I could buy a defective one and they always say no.

id love to grab one of those.... never can find any though

actually got this one for free!

the people that had it just wanted it out of there house! :rockon:

SWEEEEEEET!!! You can't beat that.

Free is the way to go and finished pics will be a must

Indeed, free is the BEST!! That is how I got mine (of course mine is a mini, not full size.) You are going to love the glass doors!

Ya well the glass doors are the main reason I've wanted one of these for the past couple of years! I don't have to worry about heat escaping just to look...

I'll post pics when it's all setup...

Congrats, that's a sweet pick up! :yessir:

Nice Steven. I love mine and wish I could find another.

Lucky bastich, I've been wanting one of those myself also. The only busted one I could find around here was owned by a meat shop... and they used it to store deer hides while they were curing. Can you guess why I passed on that one? :p

Sweet pick up Steve. Looks great.

I use a converted fridge but Im using a standard fridge. No glass doors :(

I thought about sawzalling a hole and putting plexi on both sides but ehhhhh too much of a pain. Cutting through fridges is no picnic. Plus it holds temps so nicely now I dont want to screw with it.

So I have to open it to peek. Thats a beauty though. Gonna look fantastic all set up.

If you put water bottles in any "open" space that you can fit them, when you open it up you will lose much less heat. Just s tip.

Yes Ive heard about this but so far havent taken the plunge. I think I need to add a "heat sink" for my next season.

Thanks for the kick in the tail, Noah. I needed that! :yessir:

Anytime brother.

Very nice Steve!!! and best of luck with it

Only reptile people get super excited over an old fridge!

Man I love you loony characters!

:yessir:

Man thats a beast!! I would love to get one of these.. I wonder if the old lay down type cooler would work for an incubator?? You know the ones that are about waist high.. I don't know about the sliding doors though.. But hell you can't beat the one you got bro.. Especially for free!! Nice pickup and definately post some pics when your done setting it up..
