Vivarium Electronics 240L Reptile Egg Incubator with UVC Sterilization
The new Vivarium Electronics incubator line brings commercial grade build quality to the breeding room, and the all-new UVC sterilization system is something you will not find anywhere else in this class. The VE240L is the production size, built for python breeders running 16 to 32 clutches a season, who need consistent, repeatable results across every shelf.
All-New UVC Sterilization
The integrated UVC unit helps eliminate transmission of mold and mildew spores inside the cabinet and helps control flying gnats and other pests that find their way into your incubator. The duty cycle is adjustable, so you can dial in the level of sterilization your room conditions call for. The UVC unit sits concealed behind the back wall for safety and is fully user replaceable, lasting for years of use at recommended settings.

Capacity and Configuration
The VE240L accommodates up to 16 standard python clutches when configured with all shelves installed. The internal layout is optimized for efficient airflow and consistent conditions across every incubation level, so a box on the bottom shelf sees the same environment as a box on the top. Removable easy-glide shelving lets professional breeders organize clutches around egg box size and workflow preferences. Capacity will vary based on egg box size and arrangement.

Best For
Breeders running 16 to 32 clutches a season and anyone who has outgrown a smaller cabinet and is tired of splitting a season across multiple units. If you are managing 16 clutches at once and need every one of them held to the same standard, this is the size that does it in a single footprint.
Important Note on Cooling
This incubator does not feature cooling capability and cannot get cooler than your ambient room temperature. All incubators benefit from a room temperature approximately 10°F or more below your desired incubation temp. That gap is what allows the thermostat and heat element to work together and hold a steady temperature inside the cabinet.
Why Keepers Love It
Incubation is the one part of the season where there is no do-over. The VE240L removes the guesswork with proportional temperature control down to a tenth of a degree, active air circulation so the top shelf reads the same as the bottom, and UVC sterilization that keeps mold and gnats from turning a good clutch into a bad one. Add locking glass doors and a temp lock, and you have a production unit you can walk away from and trust.
