    Good incubator?

    So it's my birthday and my boyfriend says he wants to buy me a nice incubator for BP breeding. Can anyone make a suggestion? He said I should research and find out what the best kind is. Although it does seem like most people on here build them from scratch.

    Natures spirit has a very nice incubator. Not sure if i am buying one this weekend or not. I want to buy one but my finances are not looking good.

    Looking for something a bit smaller than that...

    It seems like the Hovabators are the only ones out there, is that right? I am thinking of ordering a Herpstat and we will build one together next week. I do have some leftover flexwatt from my old rack setup. What do you guys think?

    Hovabators have had issues not doing its job and killing off entire clutches. you should hit up your local craigslist.com under free. and search for mini fridges and make your own in a days work.

    I wouldnt use a hovabator. If you have flexxwatt get a cooler, a computer fan(from Radio shack)and the herpstat and you are in business.

    Sounds good guys, we are now thinking of making a project out of it during our spring break. Should be fun.
