1. Hova-Bator Incubator Fanless Product Reviews Price paid: $ 39.95 Pros: easy to put together, small Cons: Plastic Panels sometimes come loose. Description: The Hova-Bator is easy to use and set up. It come with a thermometer, temperture dial, ready light and 2 plastic panels for viewing the inside without the need to lift the lid. Temperatures are easy to maintain and regulate. Its small enough to set on top a counter or desk. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Price You Paid: $49.95 CAN Pros: Great for doing a small amount of gecko or Uro eggs. It doesn't dry them out like the fan-model would. Cons: The only con would be that the plastic panels should be sealed with silicone Hope this helps and the link to the page I found the reviews is listed in the source
2. Current Reptiles Mag. has homemade ideas in it. It is not that big a deal. The basics are: 1. Insulated box, such as a cooler 2. Put several inches of water in the bottom 3. Use an aquarium heater (or two) to heat the water and humidify the box. 4. Put the eggs in some Tupper-ware like tubs in sand or Vermiculite dampened with warm water. Depending on the species and the water tolerance, poke holes in the tub to allow drainage. 5. Put the tubs on a rack OVER the heated water. 6. Use a probe thermometer (or remote digital weather station) in the box to monitor temps. Thermometers with low/high-temp alarms are the best. 7 Park it somewhere safe for the needed time. Other plans include using small fans, different layouts inside the box, junked mini-fridges, etc.
