Okay here are a couple pics.
I got the design from NERD's Ball Python book, but super sized it.
There is a compartment on the left side that has a divider from the main incubation chamber. The compartment houses 5 100 watt heat bulbs. There is a fan at the top of the compartment that sucks the air from the main incubation chamber. There is also a fan at the bottom the blows the heated air into the incubation chamber. Each shelve has a cut out at opposite sides allowing the moving air to circulate.
I think my main problem was that this design was too tall. So today I closed off the hole that was in the shelf directly above the top bin. This essentially cut the size of the incubator in half and stops the process of removing air from the incubation chamber. Now I only have the one fan that is blowing the heated air into the chamber.
It seems to have stabilized for the most part. The bottom bin is still a little hotter since the heated air is coming in from the bottom.
Comment and suggestions are welcome.
Thanks again for the input so far - it is very appreciated.
Rick
