Hey guys what kind of Incubator would you recommend?

I was looking at a Exo Terra - Thermoelectric Reptile Egg Incubator but after reading so many bad reports about temperature dropping or rising too quickly and killing the eggs I think this one is a no no.

I had a much greater hatch rate from reptiles with a home made poly-box one than many have had with purpose built reptile incubators.
I believe a few other people on here have as well.

Agree totally, especially as it was our first 3 clutches last year we wanted to see how it all went with poly box, 100% hatched. They are cheap and easy to make so are perfect
