What are some good incubators?

Just another information question that I reference for in the future, even though by the time I'll have snakes they'll probably have better ones, nevertheless, I'm still curious to hear some. I've heard some good things about Kemp's smaller ones, but I haven't heard anything about larger refrigerator sized ones. So, anyone know any good ones? Thanks!

I can't vouche for them as I've never used them and don't know anyone who has, but Nature's Spirit and Animal Plastics both make larger incubators that look pretty nice...

Kemp's incubator might be fine for small lizard however you will not be able to fit a much more than a clutch of BP eggs if even.

The one you make yourself ans that allow you to grow is also great solution.

The AP incubator looks sweet, I'm hoping to get one later this year (I'll do a full write up/review if/when I get one)... many people on this site build their own. (usually out of an old fridge or the like)

There are a few good threads on these:

Making one will certainly save you a bunch of money and it's pretty darn easy. I threw this one together this year. Expect I'll be using it a few years, it's large enough for me to add another layer on top to hold a total of 8 containers when needed(each container can hold about 10 ball python eggs).

I honestly couldn't make anything like that to save my life. Even with instructions. I saw a thread about making a smaller one, but that seemed kind of complicated for me haha. How much did money did it cost you to build that nice once?

That looks really nice. It's larger than the one listed on their site isn't it? Just curious about its dimensions? Cost above what they have listed for the smaller unit?

I used a Natures Spirit also this year. I have the smaller one from their site, I didn't know they made a larger one or that it comes in black, GRRRRRR. Thats very sweet. But with the one I have it should be plenty big for a few years. I think I can get 12 6qt. tubs in it so it will work for some time for me. I feel this is a very good incubator for the money- Basically after doing tons of looking this one I have is large enough for like I said 12 -6qt. boxes and the price really is not that bad for something that holds that many clutches. It worked great this year for my one and only clutch which happened to hatch this am. It held temps. spot on and the humidity in the box stayed pretty constant once I got it figured out. Hope this helps you.

It is not the biggest of incubators but likely the most advanced one. The big Juragon...
