Building your own is the way to go.
It's cheaper, easy and you can make it to your specs.

I built mine out of an old wine fridge.

Check youtube for "home made incubator" videos. There is a few.

Handiness is not needed. If you can cut some wires and drill some holes, you're good.

I'm also not handy, so I bought mine. Natures Spirit is reliable & has 3 shelves. That got too small as my collection grew so I stepped up this year to the Animal Plastics. This is holding the temps steady,it's big & I love it.

I've been checking out incubators online. Nature Spirits incubators look nice and affordable, but after also checking the videos in You Tube, I've decided to try to make my own incubators (with a little help from my friends...)

I'm not super handy...... but it really is easier that you'd think

I LOVE the incubator I made out of an old glass door deli fridge.

So easy simply using guides I found after searching a little online....

Good luck.......
