Help with diy incubator

[leamos]

I'm planning on making an incubator out of a foam box and heat cord and want to know what thermostat to use for best results. What thermostats have you used in your diy incubators? I'm planning on using a 4.5m 25W heatcord is that long/powerful enough? cheers

Thank solar 17, I've decided on a habitsat pulse from herp shop and a 4.3m 25W heat cord. Whats the best way to attach the heatcord to the bottom and sides of the foam box? I want to put in a shelf just off the bottom to sit the egg containers on, thinking of using piece of egg crate or something similar, sound good?
