err...
sorry...
The question is, who recommends what for the hobby breeder. I dont want to spend much. At all, but I want a proper incubator for lizards and snakes.
And does anyone know where to buy HovaBator incubators from?

Get yourself an esky, some heat cord, a thermostat and bob's your uncle. It's very easy to make an incubator.

I used a polystyrene box with lid , a heat mat and a thermostat with probe works for me for my beardies and costs about $90

with the heat cord I found it melted the polystyrene so I found a heat mat better

ok and is the heat cord wound through the bottom all the way across, or do you use it in the open to heat up the air?

I put the heat mat on the side so it's not touching the egg container
