    Not hard at all, all you need is a small fan, heat tape and thermostat

    Yep, super easy.

    $15 fridge, it actually works
    $10 computer fan
    $25 in flexwatt
    $18 in tubs
    $135 helix

    So about $200

    If I moved the bottom shelf I could fit 12 tubs in there.

    Ive always put my own fan in because the stock fans have a tendency to build undesired heat

    I'm not sure I would trust a built in fan, most likely it's going to generate heat. Computer fans are about $10 and you wire them to an old cell phone wall charger.

    I made my incubator from a old Red Bull bar fridge. It was easy. You can see how I converted it here: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...ull-Incubator!

    can you add more shelves to yours instead of just having the one shelf in there

    Upright freezer is your best bet, you might have to look and give it a lil time but its worth it in the long run
