Make your own out of a used fridge - best and cheapest way . Lots of tutorials on the web .

Hot Box incubators is great if you don't want to build your own. They are ready to just plug in to your thermostat and go! Lol

What's your experience with these incubators?

I've used hovabators for many different species with success.

you can probably get a used fridge for free or really cheap on craigslist. $50 for something that will hold 25 clutches is pretty cheap. Add some heat tape for $20, a fan for $10 and a thermostat of your choice and you are good to go.

I just hatched the one remaining egg of my first ever clutch this year having used a Zoo Med Reptibator. I used a medium tupper-ware to make an egg box with a lid, vermiculite and a light difuser for the eggs to rest on. 5 of 6 ended up never having been fertile from the start but, the one egg which did is doing well. The temperature in the box was constant 89-90.

Like most probably will, I would really say building your own is the cheapest way to get the job done but I bought this in a baffled hurry for $130.

Note: I say baffled hurry because I had never seen any locks and so I just thought it was another failed pairing and all the sudden, BAM. Then came the "oh crap" moment and I panicked

I have looked at these and they look great, but if the op wants to spend $200 I think he will have to build it.
Then factor in a thermostat and your price just topped your budget.

Actually, I checked their website and hot box incubators start at $550 including the thermostat.

cheapest way...

cooler -- $10
water -- free
4 peices of plastic to hold egg creat out of water -- $1.00
egg create -- $5 for big sheet
vermiculite -- $10 for 10lb bag
plastic shoebox tub -- $3
under water heater -- $20

usually you have an extra tub laying around as well as maybe a cooler and something to keep it elevated out of water. you can find alot of diy cooler incubator videos on youtube.
