and am lost as to what one is a good one and like a 1st and 2nd pick

You don't want the kind with a fan, it will dry out the eggs.
I found this one at LLreptile.com
You may want to write to make sure it is the "no fan" type.
If you have a local C)-)P, you might want to check there too. They are chicken egg incubators in actuallity.
Hovabator

If your only going to hatch a small amount of eggs the thermal air flow hovabator would be fine (not the one with the fan), but if you want to hatch multiple clutches, and need accuracy in the temps you could make a larger one with a good thermostat pretty easily. I made mine out of a small refrigerator about 3x2x2. I bought a descent thermostat hooked up heating pads for a heat source, and a tray for water to be placed inside to keep the humidity up. I'll post the url for the site where I got the idea from. I just made mine on a smaller scale with a better thermostat. There are many descent sites with instructions on making homeade incubators. I'll post a few urls for you to check out. If your going to make your own make sure you have a digital thermometer you can place the probe inside the egg box to calibrate the thermostrat properly before hand, and to keep track of the temps during incubation. The digital thermometer will come in handy if you get the hovabator kind too.

Thanks for clearing that up Matt. The air flow thing was what was confusing me. I was thining it was the same as a fan, which I know not to use. I sold my hovabator because I'm not blanning on breeding anymore and couldn't remember the details.
