was wondering what incubators people are using to incubate there pythons eggs?
Are there many on the market and what is a good one to go for?

I have a pro hatch incubator from http://www.pro-racks.com/prohatch.html
They are not cheap but I would rather not risk skimping on such equipment as with all things in life you get what you pay for

The Pro-Hatch incubators are great but it may also be possible for John to convert an old frdge for you.He did this for me but it depnds on availability of the fridges.
Heres the one he did for me

I still do it the good old way, with a poly box, heat mat and a nice large unventalated box inside, controlled by a habistat thermostat. Works really well with excellent outcomes. Its all about how you mix your substrate and how and what you lay the eggs on that matters

Got to agree with you there mate but it also depends on how many eggs you are looking at hatching as well.The last thing you want is 10-15 poly boxes dotted around the house
