styrofoam coolers in an unisulated garage. I put a brick inside of them, fill water about halfway up the brick, place a plastic shoe box with no lid filled halfway with fine grain moist vermiculite on the brick, melt two holes about the width of a pencil in the lid of the styrofoam cooler, place the eggs in the vermiculite about half way in close the cooler and wait. also I like to put windows on the lid of the cooler with plexiglass and silicone adhesive, and if I incubate indoors I use an electronic thermometer and a submersable aquarium heater. my temps range between 78 and 90 degrees and I have had great hatch rates over the years. I have had more problems with comercial incubators than I would like to discuss but they aren't all bad.
