I love these tubs but they aren't available anymore.
They've been out of production for at least a year if not two years.

Thanks for the heads up. I was trying to zoom in on the label but couldn't make it out :D They look a tad smaller width wise then the 6qt Sterilite I use, but I could be completely wrong :)

I haven't seen any in a couple years, not the model# 1922 like these, but who knows, maybe they have released them again?
The purple handled ones I've seen are a different shape and are 6qt tubs I believe, the 1922 is a 7qt tub.

nevermind

What are the water bottles for in the incubator? At first I thought for moisture but they all seem to be capped off...

The water bottles help to retain heat in the incubator. The humidity is maintained in each egg tub by the water and substrate mix. Having the water bottles helps radiate heat and keeps temps from dropping too much when you open the incubator and the warm air escapes.

Definitely make your own! You have lots of great examples here already! Just make sure you get a really nice thermostat, fill it with water bottles, and put a computer fan in the bator for sure! Also, I would go substrateless, it's easy and basically fool proof.
