I have two apricot pueblan milk snakes. One day I hope to breed them. I have always wanted to breed snakes as a hobby. I could build a incubator, but I was wondering what is the best one you can buy. personal feedback on incubators appreciated.

Not the best but tried and tested is the "REPTIBATOR" BY Zoo med. Very affordable also.

Find an old fridge that doesn't work anymore and build your own. I don't trust anything commercially available that isn't a few hundred bucks.

Zoo med is one of the only commercial incubators with a built in proportional thermostat. Very reliable.

There are actually other high quality incubators available in the marketplace. I picked up a used Lyon RL1 incubator off of ebay for $130. Professional quality with two thermostats, one electronic one uses a bi-metal wafer that provides very accurate temperature control. It sounds like you have some time, so I recommend that you keep you eyes open for just the right one for you. Just a thought...

That seems like a good deal, I think I'd just build my own if I were you but if a used one comes up at a good price like Jim got that could be a good way to go, too.

I built mine for a $125. It holds more than most commercial ones for similar cost.
