What type of incubator do you use?

I know that everyone here who breeds ball pythons obviously needs an incubator, so what do you use? If you made it yourself then what do you use to heat it, thermostat,ext.

I got mine from Justin Kobylka - it's his first incubator, now he's using a full sized refridgerator.

This has heat tape on the door and a fan for air circulation. Controlled with a Helix thermostat. It can hold up to 8 clutches at one time.

I assume the question is for me

The water bottles in the incubator have nothing to do with humidity (obviously you would not want to have bottles full of water with holes in them especially when you have electricity involved

)

The water bottles help stabilizing and holding the temps, if the power was to go out the incubator would maintain it's temps longer.

Humidity has to do with your egg box and how it is set.
