I built my own incubator using an old fridge i got from a rubbish tip, fixed a light through he hole where a pipe used to go, this was connected to a thermostat, It took 20 minutes work and will hold many boxes of eggs

Speaking of which, will an chicken egg incubator work for reptile eggs?

As long as it doesn't rotate the eggs, a chicken incubator will work.

I made my own. It was actually pretty easy. I didn't use heat tape because it takes to long to heat and cool. I used a Heat coil which heats up faster and cools faster. It has helped me maintain a much more consistant temperature in my incubator. What I love the most about it is that I can use my incubator in the garage in the winter time without any problems!!! It doens't matter if the temperature is -20 or 65 it holds the temperature perfectly.
