incubator

I need a incubator in a hurry. What is the best one to use for ball pythons?

The best ones would be mini fridges converted into incubators in my opinion however I saw your post about it being a surprise. Hovabator (I think that's how it's spelled) makes one and you could use that along with a thermostat. If you're really strapped on cash and time and I'll probably get some hate for this, there is one you can make out of a styrofoam cooler and a light bulb for about $15-20. Given you have a room that stays the same temperature you could set it up and it should work pretty nice. I'm currently using it on leopard gecko eggs and I'm getting a good 81° with a 15w light bulb.

Cool thanks. I talked to a breeder I know and he said the hovabator would be good. I decided to go the maternal drought tho sense it was a surprise. Need to find a way to mark and check eggs tho. Mama is being nippy right now lol.

Yeah I heard they work pretty good. They just recommend you use an external thermostat because the built in one isn't very accurate. Best of luck though!
