incubators?!

What are some good incubators for ball python eggs? what do you all recommend for lower cost one as i am going to be breeding in three years or so.

Make your own, all you need is a cooler or small fridge (which can often be found for free) and keep in mind that the single most important piece of equipment is a reliable thermostat which will run your about $100 alone.

Many small incubators are expensive compare to the little room they have to offer not to mention that their thermostat is not something I would trust with something as important as my eggs.

Now if you want to invest the money there is C-Serpents and Nature Spirits.

t this point an incubator is not something I would worry about even when your female ovulates you still have 45 days to have your incubator ready and running.

Thank you, I am just wanting to take a good look at everything i will need before commiting to my purchase of 2 or 3 more BPs. I want to make sure i will be able to care for the for the next two or three years and then be able to breed them and properly incubate the eggs. Thank you. What kind of heating do you use in the incubator with the thermostat. Also, what kind of thermostat would work best? Herpstat or something like a vivarium electronics one??? thanks again!!

As far as heating running a piece of flexwatt is the easiest and it is very efficient we have several DIY in our DIY section, as for thermostat I always recommend Herpstat, they are very dependable I have some that have been running for 11 years now so it's a good investment. The intro + or the one will suffice and both of those have added security features. https://www.spyderrobotics.com/index...=index&cPath=1
