DIY fridge incubators help

[ellenwalter]

Hey guys, I have a diamond and a jungle I'm hoping to breed in a few years time, I was thinking about incubators today and the process of making one out of an old fridge but I really have no idea about the process. I looked at other threads and just found them confusing. Can someone break it down for me please? And go through everything i need.
Thanks.

1 heat cord 1 thermo and 2 thermo sensors is all that's needed good quality stuff

run heat cord all round the fridge utilizing the provided fridge shelfs and then test for a few weeks to make sure its stable on temps

If you have a good fridge and still want an incubator drill a hole threw the side of the fridge and get an electrician to cut and wire your thermo inside so if I want a fridge one day plug the fridge plug in and bam it still works as a fridge.. (A mate has done this and it works great)

Yes. I understand many people are against impure breeding and I respect that. But they both have highly advanced colour and pattern for their age and believe they have the potential to produce some stunning offspring.

You don't even have to drill a hole in the fridge, just shut the cables for the thermostat and temperature sensors in the door. This has been working for me for the past four years with no problem. I also incubate over water, which keeps a very stable temp in the incubation container because of the thermal mass of the water.

you could make an incubator out of an old broccoli box with lid, just need a thermostat and some heat cord..., there are plenty of diy threads for incubators with pics..

Yes cross breeding is like coming on here and saying u want to wire your own enclosure and are not qualified.

Some things are better left unsaid.
