    ReptiPro 5000

    I was looking at incubators for this season and it seems to me this is the best one. But isn't the reptiPro the exact same thing asthis with a higher price tag? Tell me what you guys think.

    People have used those mini-fridges very successfully, last I heard.

    Look at yard sales and classified ads and buy a used mini fridge or even go to the dump! All you need is the shell! They work well, my friend did one with these!

    I've heard you don't even need something as expensive as a fridge. I've never done it myself, but I know that people have successfully hatched clutches out of altered drink coolers used for picnics. It seems to me that as long as it's well-insulated and holds humidity, you can rig it with heating and temperature control to make it work. Look for some tutorials on google/youtube and see what you can find. Good luck!

    I'm using a igloo cooler and it seems to be working just fine. My eggs temps are right where I want them to be.
