    Chris @ C Serpents bought out hotbox incubators. So he'll be bringing them to the show now as well.

    He makes a very nice incubator that is completely custom for $350. That includes the herpstat.

    Amazing professionally made incubator!

    (hovabators are crap unless you use your own thermostat....You have to use your own thermostat for it to run well/accurately/safely)

    It doesn't come with a thermostat so that's pretty pricey IMO. Acadian Enclosures are nice incubators and they come with the herpstat as well. Hotbox is about 400 or 450 I think and they come with the VE-200 thermostat.

    I have heard quite bad things about them, and they definitely won't hold 4 clutches.
