Are water bottles necessary for an incubator?

[Adam Chandler]

I have a Red Bull mini-fridge that I am going to convert into an incubator. It seems most of the incubators I have seen do not have any water bottles, but some do. My mini-fridge is completely insulated and has a glass front door. Is it necessary to have water bottles or is that a personal preference? If I put water bottles, it would eliminate 1/3 of my space for egg boxes.

I just recently converted a Red Bull mini-fridge into a incubator. I decided to add a row of water bottles at the bottom of the fridge. It didn't take up too much room. I used the skinny long Smart-water bottles. There are some pictures of it here:http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...d.php?t=119785
