bar fridge.

[K1LOS]

Alright, after much searching i now have 2 bar fridges ready to be converted to incubators. One of them still works, so i think i will just keep that as a fridge.

I was planning on having it heated by lightbulbs, any opinions on this? I thought i would do 2 bulbs, one at the top back wall, and one at the bottom back wall. I would have to experiment with what wattage to use.

I'm still deciding on which proportional thermostat, its a tough call. I want to save money, but i don't want a piece of junk. Do i have to get a Helix or a Herpstat or the like, or can i get something from Rona? I want the digital display for the thermostat on the outside so i don't have to open the incubator to check the temp.

I also want a small indicator light on the outside so i know how often the bulbs are on (heating). Not sure how i'll do this, I imagine it would be a small LED or something.would i not have trouble wiring bulbs of varying wattages in series? Any suggestions?

I seem to be getting mixed opinions on fans, will i need one or not?

This will be a multi-prupose incubator. Currently i am just producing gecko eggs, but the beardies are coming of age, and i plan on getting some snakes (species undecided still) in the near future.

Alright, so thats what i'm thinking. What do you all think about that? I wanted to get some advice from the more experienced before i went and wasted a lot of time and money. Any input is appreciated. Thanks
