Hello Everyone,

So Im attempting to make a homemade Incubator for my ball python eggs. I currently have a gutted under the counter ice machine, a fish tank heater with thermostat, some heat pads made from flex heat tape, fans, a Vivarium Electronics VE-200 controller.

Now my ice machine has a plastic inside that resembles a plastic tub with a drain and valve on the bottom, I plan to use R.O water inside the ice machine as the primary heat source and the flex tape heat pads tapped to the sides with a fan circulating the air. I was going to put a tray a few inches above the water and put my eggs in containers with some perlite and the eggs lifted some on a plastic grate so its not touching the perlite, then put the lid on.

Does this sound like a good set up or should I worry about the water and humidity being too high? This is my 1st time with eggs. Also I bought some cameras for inside the incubator.
