Incubation TEK

My friend bill is having difficulties creating an incubator. Temps are hangin around 75 and would like to keep them consistantly higher (around 83 or so). Suggestions? Ideas?
Bill has mentioned that he is hesitant to use an electic pad due to drying/high temp issues, not to mention fire hazard. Thanx

Water at 86 deg. F will not necessarily feel very warm to the touch. Please, put your incubator together short of the lid, place a thermometer inside of the empty bin (the one your jars will go in), close the incubator (put the lid on), wait for 2 to 3 hours and check the temperature (as read on your thermometer).

the fully submersable fish tank heaters are the best way to go...you must not be useing one or must be dumb as dirt to say they are "gay" you can get a 200 watt fully submersable from wal-mart for 24 bucks add 2 rubbermades that nest togeter your talking a great incubator for 30 bucks...cant beat that

You could try this set up....this is what my grandma is going to use....read about it on a tek and thought it was a nice idea. CLICK TO ENLARGE:
Just make sure to remove the plexi-glass addition or cover it up because the incubation chamber should receive NO light!!!

Might be gay as aids but you haven't found a better idea yet.

You have to use a decent fully submersible aquarium heater or your going to get bad results. Not all heaters are built with pride...you buy a cheap brand you might have problems.
Ebo Jagar brand is excellent...works great...I have used one of the same Ebo Jager submersible aquarium heaters for almost 20 years...used it when I had fish. Still going strong!
Tronic brand is good...and works great. They are on 24/7....for months and even over a year on end...and have never had a heater burn out on me.
These 2 brands cost more $$$$ but they are well worth it.
Tronic 200 watt submersible aquarium heater inside a large rubbermaid.

I use 2 different size rubbermaids.

The smaller rubbermaid goes on top of the larger one.

I have had 6 incubators running at a time...don't tell me they don't work. 
good luck!

2-33 gallon rubbermades. I like Roadkills smaller in bigger idea more then this but needed a little more space but not enough to make another incubator.

Yeah but mine doubles as a bulk substrate incubator. You put your spawn in the smaller one...let it colonize...case it...let that colonize....then pull it out and shove it in the Greenhouse. 
And you wondered why I had 6...didn't cha?

Roadkill, a BIG bagful of poo was appropriated today with your tek in mind. Good old police horses in Hyde Park! However, because it came from a dirty track, it's all covered in stones and stuff. Should they be rinsed off?
Also, it's pretty fresh - do i soak it to leach out ammonia? do i dry it out until it's white? and how soon can i get busy with it? It looks like these horses eat nothing but straw, so i don't think it needs mixing with any extra!
