    What incubator would you recommend?
    Its going to be a while(at least a year) before I start breeding, but I've been looking at different incubators and was wondering what was the widely used brand and model :)

    I've looked into how to convert a glass door freezer into an incubator, but it honestly seems way out of my league.
    Let me rephrase that, what commercial incubator would you recommend?

    I'm also interested. I plan on purchasing from one of these two sources most likely:

    http://www.nsreptiles.com/incubator.html

    http://www.hotboxincubators.com/

    I'd love to hear more about them or other incubators, though.

    I did a DIY incubator out of a chest cooler. It's VERY easy to do and I have minimal building experience and it works perfectly!. However, I'll be upgrading my incubator to a hot box incubator in the next couple of years. :)

    I felt the same way lol. I got the Natures Spirit one and I'm very happy with it. I'm running it off a Herpstat and it's been great, seems to only be drawing 9% power to stay at temperature (with 5 eggs in right now) and was completely plug-n-play.

    Pretty positive I'm gonna order a NSR in the next year. If it's really as nice and reliable as I've heard it's well worth the 425 to me. It's also supposed to hold more 6 qt tubs than the hotbox of equivalent price.

    I forked out the cash and got the Nature Spirits and couldn't be happier i love it so far i got 2 clutches in it waiting on my third to pop out

    Re: What incubator would you recommend?
    We have a NSR and a large glass door coke freezer that we converted. Both are great and work well. If you are unsure of making one, go with the NSR. We got our NSR incubator years ago at Chicago Reptile House and it still works like brand new. Good luck!

    I have a 3 level 6 tub incubator from:
    http://www.cornelsworld.com

    But I'm in Canada so it probably wouldn't be worth it to pay all the shipping fees.

    My biggest problem with the nature spirit incubators is that I only saw a "white" option. Do they do a black? Picture? I've been debating between hotbox and nature's spirit.

    I've seen someone post here before about getting a black one made with a few custom specs as well. I believe you have to email them for the option.
