Well, you can build one with a reliable thermostat and a cooler which tons of people have had success with or u can buy one. For my first clutch I bought one. A lot of places online sell them. It's the one that looks like a mini fridge. It worked out great for me.

The ones you put together yourself :)
The important part is buying a proportional thermostat which will set you back just over $100
The rest can be as easy as a coleman cooler or a mini fridge or upright fridge or freezer, some heat tape, a fan and some water bottles to help stabilize the temps.
The DIY section is a great place to check out what others do

Whatever you do, don't get a Hova-Bator! They are junk, even for something as easy as corn snake eggs.
As the others have said, your best bet is to build your own out of a Coleman cooler or mini fridge. A quick search in the DIY forum or google will produce lots of ideas.

I use a HELIX for my incubator. Herpstat is also a good choice.:snake:

this isnt accurate. many many people have been hatching reptiles using hovabators for years. you just have to keep a better watch on them since the wafer thermostat isnt as reliable as a real thermostat. its the best incubator to start with if you will only have 1 to 2 clutches.
ive had mine in use for over 10 years with no issues.
