I just assembled an incubator for when my girl, in the hopefully not so distant future lays. And I'd like some critiques before she does lay.

I used an insulated shipping box a batch of frozen rats came in. Heated with a heat pad that's plugged into a Herpstat 1. I put a thermometer in there to help monitor the temp. The probes are taped so they will be online with the center of the egg tubs. I have 1 plastic tub in the bottom with water and will put a water bottle or two in the bottom o hold more water, to help hold the heat when I open the lid. The box won't quite hold a sterilite shoe box, but will hold two of the plastic tubs that are only a little smaller, but make better use of the space. They are just as deep, about the same width, and only an inch or two shorter. I plan to use vermiculite in the tubs with the eggs.

So anything I missed or could modify to work better?

Thanks,
Kyle
