future incubator I just picked up on CL....

I think I got a smokn deal on this freezer....FREE....I am going to try and set up and make an incubator out of it for my two gravid females....anyone know where I can purchase the good thermostat. I am not going to take any chances and go the cheap rout.....

we used the zoo med cheapy thermostat,and durign a 2 week test,out gradieant at low was 88.1,and high was 90.2,but you can order a heliz,i believe at like helix.com,or just google it,we converted a fridge over:)

I am using a jhonson control therostat in my walk in incubator and it is working fine. You can find some on kingsnake classifieds. Make sure you get something with a 1 or 2 degree range. Some stats have a much larger range.
You can also find heat tape on kingsnake if that is what you are going to use as a heat source.

the man has a very good point

Personally I like to use Rich at Reptile Basics for just about anything to do with heating. The man rocks!

Sorry about posting twice..At first I forgot the pics so then I tried to edit my post and it made another thread.....Sorry about this mistake.

That's nice, I been scouring craigslist looking for one for next season...the search continues, great find :)
