Confusion on incubators.

[The Serpent Merchant]

I was wondering what people thought of the 2 incubators I posted about. I plan to get a thermostat for what ever incubator I get. I also as I stated don't have the patience to put things like a build your own together. I would get really irritated and toss the whole darn thing. Plus I have a 2 yr old that loves to get into everything and would like something small that I can place out of his reach. If I were to breed multiple clutches then I would definitely consider a build your own with an old mini fridge. But with just 1 possible clutch (that wasn't intentionally bred) then I would like to just get a small nicely built one I can add to. Like adding a good thermostat, and thermometer hygrometer.

Making your own incubator is incredibly easy:

1. buy a styrofoam cooler, a foot or so of heat tape from reptile basics (they will wire it for you), some aluminum foil tape, and a thermostat (preferably something like the herpstat intro +)
2. Using the foil tape, tape the heat tape into the cooler
3. Pass the heat tape cord out of the cooler and plug it into the thermostat
4. Place the thermostat's probe inside the cooler and set the thermostat to the desired incubation temperature.
5. Add eggs

If I had to chose between the 2 you listed I would go with the hovabator, but personally I wouldn't trust either of them.
