polybox, heat mat, stat

job done.

google will produce plenty of guides i'd have thought. the best setup to use depends entirely on exactly what kind of eggs you want to incubate.

An old fridge is probably the best thing to use, as they are made to hold a steady temperature.

okay if people can tell me what i need and how much and where to get it from and also tips and your own set-up of a incubtor would be great,
also its for a corn snake so for the babys would emtey crickets tubs be okay to put babys in. and let me check moss and soil okay for the corn to lay in?
