The simplest and most inexpensive is as follows. Take a 10 gal aquarium (or rubbermaid) fill it 3-4" deep. Put a submersible aquarium heater with a thermostat in, set to desired temp. Cover the aquarium with plexiglass. Place a thermometer in there. Then all you need is some sort of rack (available at home depot) to raise the eggs out of the water. Simple and works very well.

Both of these seem great, I'll need to build one hopefully in the next 3-4 months for some JCP eggs.
I like the water bottle set up, how has this worked out for you?

Jungle eggs in November? Do you live in Australia, because that would be virtually UNHEARD of! LOL, J/K... 
Definitely build your own guys and gals! What is available on the market is either sub-par or very very expensive. There's a ton of old threads here kicking around that show some very very good incubator setups.

Sorry, I meant 3-4 months for mating, not 3-4 months for eggs.
I don't want to wait for the eggs to have the incubator ready. I'll introduce the male sometime in November and get started on the incubator. Hopefully I'll have some use for it!

Do you cool your JCP's? Or adjust the daylight hours?
Temps here in FL are in the mid to upper 80's now. They should drop some where in the 70's by the end of October-November.
