Hey there. I was conflicted with this too. i almost bought a $700 incubator. All the breeders that I know in person use their own home made incubators. One of them uses an old coca-cola refrigerator that they converted to hold 2 dozen clutches. As long as its done properly than its just as effective as a marketed incubator. Generally when you set it up you should let it run without any eggs in it for the length of time equal to the incubation period for the eggs you will have in it. For Ball Pythons you would let it run for 52 - 60 days to monitor the temps.

Cheers.
