None are especially made for BP's. But the best incubator is the one you can afford. If you wanna buy something ready to go and can afford it then that's the best. If not then maybe building one is best for you.
I need to know the best one to buy.
It doesn't have to be very large.
And I would be too scared to use one that I built myself.

A buddy of mine actually lost a whole clutch of BP eggs using the reptibator..
I am also very nervous about building my own, but I feel better knowing that many folks on this forum can't wait to give me tips and advice for when I build my own. If I can't find a minifridge, I'm going with the cooler method.. At most I'll only have 2 clutches this year anyways .

Same.
If youre only expecting a few clutches then id build your own using the cooler method. I would use a mini fridge or something but i havent had any luck finding someone that wants to get rid of a broken one for cheap. I did end up snagging a cooler that was gunna be thrown out at work though, so im gunna use that.
I am not the most mechanically inclined individual and yet I managed to build one out of a wine cooler using the tutorials here on the forum. We have eggs on day 45 today and everything is going good.
You can use the cooler method or go on CL and see if you can find a wine cooler that someone is getting rid of cheaply. I picked mine up for $30. You can get heat tape already wired from Reptile Basics. Pick up a computer fan from Best Buy and wire it using an old cell phone charger cord or order an AC fan off Amazon. Here is a picture of mine.
The most important thing is that you use a good thermostat. I am using a Herpstat II but you can get a Herpstat Basic for about $100. As long as you have some time before you need it, I would give building your own a try. Good luck
