    Best Incubator to purchase?

    Hey gang! Just curious if some of you pros could point me towards some of the better plug-and-play incubators. I know a lot of you have done the DIY ones but I am really cramped on time and not super handy so I'd just rather buy a good one. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Joe

    I'm a big advocate of making your own incubator.

    That said if I had to pick a plug and play one I've always thought the Animals Plastics incubator and the Natures Spirit incubators looked pretty nice.

    If you have the money I know Habitat Systems makes some really reliable and nice incubators. They are definitely not for the shallow pockets though.

    A Herpstat + HovaBator. Perhaps not 'plug and play', but still the most reliable, most economical, and most stable of anything I've tried so far. Plus, you can fit 5 ball clutches in one, if you use substrateless incubation and don't put them in separate containers.

    Nature Spirit is a great choice. I have one and it works great. Very reasonably priced as well.

    I see you have a Mocha/Mojo BEL.... Out of curiosity where'd you get it from? I haven't seen one of those yet. Sorry for being off topic.
