One idea I had seen involved taking the refrigeration mechanism off the back of an old refrigerator, putting a heating element inside the remaining cooler, rigging a thermostat, and using that as an incubator. For that matter, I Don't know why the same thing couldn't be done with a normal beer cooler. I'm also interested in hearing whether people have experience with homemade incubators such as these, and what kind of problems we DIYers might run into that we might not forsee.

Hello,

as I am on the subject of incubating gecko eggs, I cant help thinking about getting a new incubator.

Up to recently, have I used an incubator from my university, which they didn�t need after an upgrade of all of their lab equipment, so I managed to get it for �20, an absolute bargain as the news one they bought was at an excess of �1000

Unfortunately has it finally given up, though I got many years out of it.

So I am now thinking about what to replace it with
For years, I have been thinking of building some sort of incubator out of a "normal" wooden terrarium. Put a fan in, heater mat with a thermostat etc.


I am sure this isn�t a very unusual idea, so what is everyone using as an incubator and what are the pitfalls with building your own?

Cheers
Jon
