Question on incubating

Aresplimpot · 01-04-13, 06:22 AM

Hey guys, so I'm sure someone already asked this but I hope someone would help me. So I'm planning to create a DIY incubator for green tree pythons. I would be making the old refrigerator one. How much heat tape( including the width, either the 4 inch, 12 inch, etc.) would be required for it? The interior dimensions are about 5 feet for the length and the width is 2 feet. That also goes to the floor, about 2 and 1/2 feet. But then when I looked at the cost, i was almost the same price as this incubator over here:

so I'm asking if this kind of incubator would be great in hatching green tree python eggs as I am new in this. This is because I am still confused if I should still create an incubator or buy that one instead. I'm not sure what incubator this is as the seller didn't place a name for it. I hope some of you could recognize it! Which do you guys believe would be more reliable? Thanks in advance!

If its the same price as the one already made buy that one then you have a warranty if something goes wrong

I have looked into using thouse and heard some negative reviews. I would make one and buy a very nice thermostat.
