I knocked one up a few years ago - http://www.aussiepythons.com/forum/diy-zone-5392/diy-foam-box-incubator-170814/

the only thing i have changed is the bottles, the milk bottles didn't stand up well and several of the lids split, I changed to 1.25L soft drink bottles and haven't had an issue

Silly question, but i take it the moist substrate goes in the plastic tray?

What you planning to incubate in it?

Spotted python eggs.

Where's the best spot for the thermometer probes in the foam box incubator? I have one at either end. Would next to the container with the eggs be better?
