I used a small polystyrene box with a heat cable stuck to the inside walls, a plastic box for the eggs inside that, and a thermostat probe through the roof. Didn't cost anything since I already had the stat, and got a 100% hatch rate ^_^

those white polystyrene fish/meat boxes are supposed to be good, ask local fish monger/butcher.
