Incubation Methods

A recent kit I bought uses an submersible aquarium heater as a heat source.
But what about..
- reptile heating pads
- Hotplates (low set)
- heating blanket
- warming lamps
would any of these also be suitable for a heating chamber?

But, what about:
Room temperature.
Incubators are so last decade. Find a place in your house where you're comfortable in a t-shirt, and your project will colonize very well without extra heat. RR

it sounded like he wanted to start a discussion about incubation chambers not not using incubation chambers. It's winter right now I dono how it is down there but I hardly doubt I'd like to wait around for incubation at room temperature where I live even if I left them somewhere near the heater Temp would flux between 17c and 22c. Now that I think about it though for people with electric heat it would be intelligent to put them in a small room that can remain closed to keep them warm and prevent said temperature flux.
That said I want to complain... no not complain, I want to bitch about my incubator. I had to use a smaller box inside of a bigger box to accommodate a non submersible heater and it sucks. It's always damp in the water area so I have to wipe the lid off before I can open the incubation box every time and it's a pain when I'm trying to get optimal temperature 27c(85f). Though It probably saves a week on incubation easy. Sometimes I think of extending wires from the control unit and sealing off the heater unit to make it a submersible water heater but then I realize I'd probably electrocute myself and burn my apartment down not to mention the fact that I'd have to buy another rubermaid container. Apparently when spring rolls around I could find a submersible water heater at the local ag supplies store.
