No snazzy pics but just to say i am using one of the poly box ones at the moment and it seems to be working just fine so far. No real change in temps, humidity is great and eggs look fab

Those that have built their own Poly Box incubators and have their heat mats on the side or lid, how do you attach the heat mats?

Cheers.

I used paper clips. Open them up, and then put them at an angle over the corners... push through the polybox... if that makes any sense...lol
