    I'm pretty sure that incubators are all over priced , but I sure know what you mean by wanting something that is simple enough to plug and play. I'm lazy like that sometimes.
    Hey Jess! I've got an old mini fridge (still works, though) and we live right down the road from a place which has a dozen shot ones outside at any given time, not to mention the plethora of yard sales around here. I've got probably 30+ feet of mixed heat tape laying around and a few spare herpstats. I might give it a shot on my next day off. See how stable I can get. I am just paranoid. I KNOW there has to be a better way.

    I like plug and play. It isn't so much laziness, but we work a lot of hours, so its nice to have the comfort of knowing its going to be the same temp when we get home from work. Today I ran to Wal-Mart and to pick up my wife from work. Gone maybe an hour. Temps were 83.1 in our Hova-Bator when I left. When we returned it was 80.6 degrees. Unacceptable!
