Hovabator is around 50-60 bucks. Try www.herpsupplies.com They usually have good prices and fair shipping.

If you want a hobovator use ebay. They are up all the time and are very cheap. You can also make your own for very little cost. All you need is a aquarium & heater and some bricks. If you want to make it I can go into more detail then.
Good Luck

Another alternative to the Hovabator also is to use a large fish packaging box. I am referring to the ones that most pet shops recieve their tropical fish in. These large styrofoam boxes work excellent. You can either use the submersible aquarium heater or a small piece of heattape. I have used this type and works well. I am going to aquire one of the smaller refridgerators for my next incubator and use heattape coupled with a reasonably priced thermostat available from ZooMed.

Shipping to Canada from Ebay is going to be a nightmare for a hovabator.

As for me, I have just built my own (3 different types, Pythons, Colubrids, and Monitors).

I use a hovobator right now. I purchased mine from <a href="http://www.berryhill.on.ca/pages/i5a1.html"> Berry Hill</a> - a farm supply located just outside of Toronto. They start at $89.99 + shipping (though your close enough to pickup). Hope this helped

I wouldn't bother ordering anything from the states, you will end up paying far more than you would up here, shipping isn't usually that bad, but duty is just awful!
