Looking for good incubator
I am planning next year's breeding season and I'm currently looking into incubators. I'm not finding a lot of good info on any sites, so is there a brand that everyone trusts? I would also totally consider building my own, so definitely throw those ideas at me too! This is going to be majorly small sized operation as I only have one male and two females. I'm planning on keeping it small until I have more room for more projects.

Re: Looking for good incubator
Since you have the time, build your own. There are plenty of DYI threads on here and it is really easy. I mean, I am the least handy person I know, and I managed to building my own. Look on Craigslist and see if you can find an old wine cooler for cheap. They are insulated, have a glass front door, and they are not too large. Can easily handle 1 to 6 clutches. Best of luck

This method works quite well for up to 10 BP clutches with the container store shoe boxes and a small modification to hold the boxes up above the water. I used light diffuser cut into strips and siliconed them to the long sides so I didn't need to use that particular size box. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUIRtUFjgfQ
I've done the broken fridge route too and that works quite well also, though there is slightly more variant in temps between top and bottom shelves. Simple as taking a broken fridge, lining the back with heat tape on a thermostat, and tossing some full bottled water in where there is extra space to add a heat buffer.

C Serpents has some good looking incubators, however I have no experience with them.
