Why do you think your female is gravid?

Doing a google search will reveal many ways to build a cooler. If you only have have one female who is gravid, you don't have to spend money to buy a big incubator. A basic hovabator can hold a single ball python clutch..and these sell for pretty cheap brand new.

You can get/make a cheap incubator 101 different ways -- but don't skinch on the thermostat it will make all the difference.

For one clutch I'd go with the Hobavator and a Helix thermostat.

Or for even cheaper

You can also go with a piece of heat tape in the top of a cheap cooler and then placing your egg box in that. Put the Helix probe inside the egg box.

Good luck.
