I have heard many opinions do's and don'ts about how to incubate python eggs. What is really the better or safer way? Turbofan or no fan?

Are you talking about using an Hovabator? If so, you might find some helpful info reading the article on Hovabators.

Thanks I just thought additional personal insight, or any personal experiences might help my doings. Thank you Much.

well we don't have any eggs yet but we built our own incubator....we used a styrofoam box...put water in the bottom then placed a submersible aquarium heater in the bottom....then took some coat hangers and bent and attached them to an undergravel filter to use as a shelf above the water line to put the container that will hold the eggs...we then cut a square in the top of the box and covered with plastic for a viewing window...then cut out a square in the front side of the box to place a thermometer with a humidity sensor...the thermometer is an indoor and out door thermometer (Accu*View) and has a probe that we placed inside the egg container so we not only get the temp of the incubator itself but one of the egg container too...and since the heat comes from heated water you get the humidiy too...the humidity reading is off a little because the sensor on the sides of the thermometer is partially covered ...but there is condensation so we know it is humid...
