>>im sure this subject has been covered before but does anybody have pictures or links on how to home make an incubator?


An old fridge is your best bet and if you look long enough its not hard to find them for free/next to nothing. Here is my layout of my current incubator that handles kings, milks, boas and python eggs.

Something that isn't listed on this drawling is water bottles to keep the temnps stable I use water bottles as a thermal mass at the bottom on the fridge along with a squirt bottle in case the tubs look a little dry.

You don't need to use flexwatt, a RHP or UTH should work as well, and you also don't need to go with a higher end proportional thermostat but I don't like to take any chances and its easier for me.

I also agree a temp gun is a must have!!
