to be honest it would be better and cheaper to build your'e own, all you need is a heat mat , a wire shelf, a poly box, a thermostat and a digital thermometer, we bought purpose made incubators when we first started but found the home made ones worked the best and maintained a better constant temperature, i'm sure there will be a thread on here on how to make one try doing a search.
camzoo is good for cheap thermostats and heatmats. the best digital thermometer i got off ebay and the wire shelf is a cake cooling rack and the poly box came from from a aquaruim pet shop, alot cheaper than £80 that most decent sized incubators will cost.

As above it is far easier to make one yourself... Rep and aquarium shops will normally have polly boxes will sell them cheap or give you one depending on how well you know the shop.. We used dowling rods as a shelf.. heat mat and mat stat and a digital thermometer bingo... They are just as good as the ones you pay 80 - 110 pound for.

Talking hi

you can get a hobivator off ebay for around 50 quid brand new deliverd in 48 hrs ready made and better than any home made incubator probable works out cheeper than building one unless u have the stuff spare already...

to be honest i wouldn't rate the hovabator as being better than home made, i have infact found the home made one has less temperature fluctuations
