    Ball Python Incubator

    Hello Everyone,

    I am breeding ball pythons this year for the first time, but once eggs come around, I don't know what incubator to buy to keep them in. I have been researching many incubators for a while and have been considering companies like animal plastics, nature's spirit, and hot box too. Price to spend is based on value for me. If it is worth it, meaning the incubator has a really high success rate for hatching eggs, and it can hold a good amount of 6 quart tubs, then it is all good by me. I will NOT be making my own incubator, as I do not want to mess anything up in terms of placing in heat tape, installing a fan which circulates in bad fashion, or any mistakes with being air tight. So, what do you all recommend? What is top quality these days? Thanks.

    I live in Canada and many have gotten incubators from Greg West, as have I.



    I have yet to test it, but many other keepers near me have used Greg's incubators for their clutches

    Get an old deep freezer and make your own. Very easy to do and works great. Be sure to put a small fan in there to keep things circulated, and a herpstat to control the temps and a couple thermometers.
