Juragon Incubators

[BlueCinder]

So ive gotta a question...
I bought a juragon reptile incubator last year , which was COSTLY but it was very successful, i hatched out approximately 70 leopard geckos, i was wondering if it was big enough to hold at least 1 ball python clutch??

if not, any recommendations on what the best incubator is?

And what is the best method of building your own ??


thanks for your time

Depends on how many clutches your planning on.
I used a mini fridge last year and it worked great for one clutch.
Had I put a fan in it it would have been good for possibly 4 clutches.
Mini fridges are easy, just find a cheap or free broken used one, add 2 feet of 11x12 flexwatt heat tape, a good thermostat, a fan if using more than one shelf and your set.

This year we planned on more clutches, only had 2 take but we are using a true brand coke cooler with 3 shelves.
Works like a charm, $400 total into it thermostat and purchasing it and all.

Thanks for your input!

i have a fear of making my own HAHA, for the fan ... what kind of fan is best recommended? i seen your post and you said you used a bathroom ceiling fan ?? where was it?

The bathroom ceiling fan(my buddy calls it a fart fan) we screwed some wood to it so it would sit on the bottom of the inc facing up.
We wired it to a dimmer switch to control the rate the fan turns.
Wiring up a mini fridge is really simple and works really well.
The coke cooler is larger and nicer but work no different than a mini-fridge in how it's set up.
