When researching incubators i came across a few that would seem to be good candidates but im not sure because i havent heard anyone talk about them before. im not exactly the handiest person so id rather spend the money for an incubator instead of trying to build one of my own. Dont want to take the risk of me messing up the build and i lose a few clutches as a result. So here are the three that i have seen that could work as a good incubator, let me know what you all think and what ypou have heard about these items:

There are a few here that i was inderested in too but not sure which one would be best out of this group.

LLLReptile Pro MR-148 Incubator
Thermal Hova Bator Incubator(1602-N)
Turbofan Hova Bator Incubator(2362-N)

Plus i saw the zero substrate tray and was wondering how those worked for anyone and if anyone has had success with them.

If anybody can give me some information about these incubators that would be extremely helpful in my decision.
 
you know how long at which temps and humidity? i have looked and always come up with different temps for different times and all, one of the best one i saw was

68-72 degrees for the first few months. Then they break the diapause and gradually raise the temperatures month by month.

4month: 73 degrees

5 month: 74 degrees

6 month: 75 degrees

7 month: 76 degrees

Should hatch then
 
I have the mini. Got it from lll plus shoping
if your going to spend 200 on the mini why not just go to lowe's get a nice wine cooler that heats and cools for 300$ 2 days after ordering mine I found this out and still kicking my self for not looking around before buying

The mini sells on think geek for $100
 
The main problem with a wine fridge is that most I have found do not have the range that chameleon eggs prefer. The extra area is great but the temps need to be adjustable enough.

Do you have a type that will stay between 65-80?
 
what sort of temp schedule do successful breeders put their incubators at? humidity? temp changes? diapause?
