1. According to Brisnea, a top name in incubators....Reptile eggs need particular conditions to hatch successfully. Temperature control can affect the sex of the hatchlings as well as the number that successfully hatch and so must be consistent, stable and accurately controllable. Reptile eggs absorb moisture during incubation (unlike bird's eggs) and require very high humidity levels to prevent dehydration. Unlike bird's eggs they must not be turned. The very long incubation periods for many reptiles can cause problems with hygiene allowing bacteria to grow in the warm humid environment. I use Brinsea incubators for my bird eggs they are awesome, I'd check them out for your reptiles.
2. yes u can probably use it for snake eggs... you mite have to set it differently (depending on what the snake eggs need) but you can use it... just check online (or something) as to what those eggs need (unless you already know...) check what temperatures they need, etc.
3. Yes, I have read from multiple sources that chicken egg incubators will work, as long as the temps and humidity is appropriate for the species of snake egg.
4. Hovabators are the most popular incubators used to incubate reptile eggs, and they were designed for poultry eggs.
