1. I do not know the names of the incubators, but if it is one for chicken eggs, then it should work fine. This is to the best of my knowledge.
2. if it is used dry or made for chicken eggs, it will not work well. the eggs need humidity. the incubators for chickens get too hot for reptile eggs. I know this cause i just had russian tortoise eggs and had to build a incubator for them. I used a 10 gallon aquarium, submersible fish/reptile heater, 2 bricks, plastic shoe box with lid, vermiculite from garden center damp with water, plastic wrap over most the top of the tank to keep humidity up, temperature gauge. my eggs need 80 % humidity and 86-88 degrees F. yours may be different. fill the tank with water for heater to stay under water, bricks hold shoe box above water, vermiculite in shoe box damp with eggs, cover with lid, but only snap down one side so water runs down lid and not dripping on eggs, plastic wrap over tank except an inch gap on one end for air. put temp gauge in shoe box so you can see it with everything closed right.
3. Hovabators work fine for bearded dragon eggs. I know plenty of people who use them and I have hatched bearded dragon eggs in them myself.
