That one will work and is about the same price most places. Here is one you can make yourself. You will also need small delicups or small tupperware containers, vermiculite, perilite or peat moss and a digital thermometer and hydrometer.

Havobater with no fan. Then you need some containers to put the eggs in. Some flukers digital hydo and thermometers. a Bag of Vermucilte. spray bottle, paper towel.

I want to know if you know what your getting into, its alot of work, alot of time and money. Also you just getting them and not doing the research first. I think you need to take a few mins to think this through, dont just take them cause they are free or what not. It seems your plate is full now, you just got two new reptiles. I just have a concern with it. Getting a whole bunch and over whelmed with it, then getting burnt out not caring for them, and getting rid of them. Just take some time and think.

I have thought about it about 2yrs so it's not like i'm jumping into. I know what I need I just like the advice I get from here, I am paying 100.00 for all four of them i'm not getting them free. Money is not an issue and I am just wanting the best incubation system there is for these little ones. This is yes the first breeding project I am starting, and I want it to be Leopard Geckos. I will also next season be breeding Bp's Kenyans, and my Bearded Dragons and hopefully my Jungle Carpet Python Anyways there is a turbofan hova bator incubator as well is that one better?? It's the one underneath the pic in the one I posted before!! (link) It comes with 5 deli cups and vermiculite,i also have several deli cups and will be buyig sploc ones at the dollar store along with sweater boxes for them. Thanks

You dont want one with a fan, a fan will dry out the eggs.

You would come out in the long run if you found a farm store close by, Tractor supply, rural king, a feed store, in the chicken section, have the same thing. I paid 35 or 35 for it. And its a newer one.

Youll want a hydro and thermo combo. Flukers has a nice one, mines ruined so I need a new one. They are about 18 at petsmart, but well worth it.

Deli cups you can get at a resturant supply place. But you cant just by 5 or so, well not the one I went to. Just call around town.
