I recently purchased a ball python that p.o said may be gravid.

Her behavior follows what I'm reading in gravid females so I'm researching incubators. As this is the only breeding age snake I have at the moment, (I have a few youngsters that I MAY breed, but they're less than a year old) I'm looking at something pretty basic (probably a table top incubator) That being said, I'm curious as to what the disadvantages would be in purchasing a poultry incubator. My understanding is that the functions would be the same, with the primary difference being that poultry eggs are turned and reptile eggs are not, thus, I would either not purchase the egg turner (which is often a separate item) or turn it off, if it's an automatic feature. Am I missing relevant information?

My second question is..... she is currently pre shed, I'm expecting that to happen any day. I understand that it's best to have the incubator up and running 2 wks. before the eggs are expected and further understand that it's usually aprox. 45+ days from shed to lay, so I need to make an incubator purchase soon. Can anyone suggest a reliable, basic incubator which delivers the best bang for the buck?

I'm grateful for the chance to hear from those who are old hands at this, I'm learning that pet stores, even those specializing in reptiles, can have totally conflicting information. Thank you.
