Eggs don't need incubators. They need the right reasonably constant temperature, humidity, and a little bit of air. However you want to give them those things is up to you. If your snake room is a reasonable temp then I would just put the egg box in a styrofoam box (to protect against rapid fluctuations) and leave it on a high shelf.



Kingsnake eggs are pretty forgiving. Because I breed some more tempermental species and some temperature dependent sex determined geckos I have 3 incubators at different temps always set up.



Real simple:



Get a large styrofoam box, a piece of flexwatt, and a thermostat and you are good to go. calibrate it before putting in the eggs. Open it every few days for a few seconds for air exchange.
