Get a Hovabator and a backup thermostat. The incubator will run you about $30-35 and the thermostat will be about the same. You can get the incubator at most feed/farm supply stores. You can get the thermostat from Granger Industrial Supply. I've hatched many species of pythons with this setup. Good luck.

I use a helix with the hovabator. Cant trust a cheap thermostat with thousand dollar snakes

That's what I use with 100% success so far.

I've uses hovabator thermal model on 3 separate occasions with 100% hatch rate (16 eggs total). I kept clutch in separate container with moistened vermiculite. I kept incubator at 89F as indicated by the thermometer provided by manufacturer of the incubator (but the more accurate and precise your measuring equipment, the better of course).
