    First, I know you ball python hipsters (and I mean this affectionately) will suggest building one. My boyfriend is super uncomfortable with the idea because he doesn't trust the final product to be electrically sound. He would rather buy one any day of the week. We have other animals, and he's worried about it starting a fire in the apartment.
    Well how about this as an option, build your own that will be as good as a commercial incubator.

    All the electrical component can be purchased from professional which means it i will be as safe as any commercial incubator you will find on the market.

    You can get the heat tape wired to your spec at reptile basics and you can get an AC computer fan like so you do not have to wire it yourself http://www.amazon.com/AC-Infinity-LS...c+computer+fan

    This is what I did since I am not electrically inclined either.

    All you have to have in addition to this is a large cooler or fridge or anything that is well insulated, a reliable thermostat and a dimmer switch for the fan http://www.amazon.com/Lutron-TT-300N...immer+switches
