I just finished building mine last night using this tutorial by twistedtails...http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...bator-Tutorial.

I am not very handy, but had a very easy time building it because of his GREAT write-up. I found a working wine cooler with a glass door on Craigslist for $70. All together I spent about $275 including a new Herpstat 1.

Here's a crappy pic...(The eggs in there are snapping turtle eggs in case anyone was wondering).
