I have a styrofoam box used to ship fish in to pet store. Does anyone have instructions on how to convert this into a incu

Providing you still have the Styro lid for it, this is how i`d do it;

Get an ordinary house brick and half it,
put the two halves in the bottom of the styro box,
Fill the bottom with water till it is just level with the bricks,
Then get an Aquarium heater and submerge it under the water and turn it on (please make sure that whenever the heater is on it is completely submerged at all times!)
I used a cat litter tray and fill that with your incubating medium and then place the eggs in it and then place them on top of the bricks and then cover!

Another word of warning is make sure that you put another rock or peice of wood incase you get caught out and one hatches when you are not there and drowns!
Its easy in theory but you will need an electronic thermometer and hygrometer to accurately pre-set the right temps and humidity!
ALWAYS TEST BEFORE RELYING ON IT WITH EGGS!

Hope this Helps
