In my HUMBLE opinion, I read some sarcasm in starmom's post, particularly in the very last sentence... not only the semantics but also the punctuation... this could be taken as rude quite easily. I don't think everything in this world should be sugar coated, but for someone looking for their first incubator, possibly someone just starting out and willing to learn, in my opinion it would just be more effective to kindly explain some specific reasons you think a different choice would work better.

If I read starmom's post wrong, which I know can happen when you are just reading plain text, I apologize fully!

To answer your question Hotshot, many people have had success with those types of incubators for ball python eggs, but there is probably a specific way to go about using it that is the least risky, and I would gather as much information about that before choosing to use one or not. Whatever you choose to do, please keep us updated!
