hey guys whats with the bottled water? it can't be for humidity its sealed. keeps the heat steady?

Yep--keeps the heat steady from what I understand. Water retains heat better than air or earth, which is why it's always warmer on the coast during winter--same principle.

Good looking bators here. :)

Mine isn't built yet, since school issues are taking precedence over BP breeding so far (Tho I may get in some late season breeding as well as some corn breeding this spring), but it shall be built from this:

I already have the components (new shelves, Flexwatt, spare t-stat, Acurite), I just have to find the time to get it all together. :)

As for finding one... I got mine from an appliance repair place. Most of them will have broken coolers and such that they'll either give away free to anyone who comes down, or sell for a VERY reduced price. I got that one for $30 (+$20 to have it delivered, sometimes its bleh not having a car).

I keep tubs with rock and water(with a lil bleach). The water and rock help stabilize temps at the bottom, I also put holes in the top of my tubs for humidity too. It is very dry where I live.

You have to buy a 3rd party thermostat for NS incubators.

I would assume heat tape, you cant actually see it, the cord comes out the back and plugs into the thermostat.
