Hey here is my very first shot at making something out of PVC materials. I was in much need of another incubator. I was not in the mood to spend $3800 for a new PVC one. So I thought I would try to build one. I like it very much! It will hold 20 boxes. So I should be able to get 40 clutches of ball pythons in it. Right now I have 36 clutches in there. I am going to build a couple more. It has two fans, 24 inch light, five wire shelves, 100 watts of flex watt run off of a Helix controller. It is 100% PVC plastic. It seems to hold the heat well after it is unplugged.

That is flippin' sweet.
How much did it run you to build? (Without the Helix, since we all know how much those are)
