    Incubator
    I'm wondering what hobby breeders and bigger breeders used as incubators when first starting out. Something that holds 2-4 clutches. I would prefer diy since I have all the tools and skills required but I honestly don't know where to start. I'm not against buying one either. If you bought one what was it? If you did diy talk me through the basics if you could please! I'm not looking for the cooler method either lol that's how I hatch my Leo's. This is something I have plenty of time for unless I decided to buy some bps that are ready.

    Before anyone says it my plans are for hobby, I'm not looking to make money. I have the space for several snakes and the funds for everything including vet bills, If I run out of room I'll just skip a breeding season. If I make a little money great if not then no problem. In my area there is only like 2 hand fulls of people who have bps mostly being normals (nothing wrong with that) so maybe giving people options would spark an interest in the hobby of keeping bps. Petmart is the only option for people in my area and that's a 45min drive with limited options. The closest breeders are 2hrs away. Either way I'm not in it to become rich but if it strikes a new interest in even 3 people in my community I would be happy that I could pass on the same joy I get from keeping bps.

    Yeah I was thinking mini fridge also. Is the one your using now use to be a fridge as well? I've seen a couple diy mini fridge incubator tutorials using heat tape, I'm wondering if there would be a better heating element to install. I've looked at the I believe is called the nature spirit incubator and I'm wondering what they use for heat.

    To this holding up to 30 clutches.

    This year I am upgrading to a Hotbox incubator just so I have something cool looking in my office.
