You have used the word cheap twice now in this thread. There is nothing cheap about breeding and properly caring for Ball Pythons. If you can't afford to do it the right way, I would suggest you don't do it.

I picked up a college-dorm sized refrigerator for ~$40.

ok how about a more "inexpensive" incubator or method of incubating. I definetly want to breed so whatever is the easiest/inexpensive method let me know. Obviously its going to cost me money but let me know...I REALLY WANT TO BREED

Are you kidding? He suggests something for $40 and that is too expensive? How are you planning on feeding and housing a bunch of hatchlings?

A cardboard box for the eggs and a case of crickets for the hatchlings will suffice.

I'm not saying that $40 is too much.. thats nothing. I would be able to deal with that no problem. i was just saying as far as an actual incubator you buy at the store. Something already configured. I've been looking at differen't ones online...

Any commercially available incubators are going to run anywhere from $300-400 to thousands of dollars for larger ones.

I wouldn't even consider using a Hovabator for ball eggs.

The *cheapest* way to an incubator is building your own.

that glass front incubator (mini fridge) is actually kinda hot.

I think I'm gonna go ahead and try to get one of those...I like the thought of being able to view the eggs without having to open the door. Now after getting one is it an absolute must to take out the freon in the back? (saw it on one of the links) Just wondering...
