incubator is posible?

Heck yeah, thats what I have been looking for to make an incubator. Wire it with heat tape or the like, pan of water in the bottom, thermometer, thermostat, and there you go. Some people put fans in the top to reduce temperature gradients. Good luck. What are you going to be filling it with?
 
Sure it's easy.. I used an old snapple fridge. I placed 2 of the large Zoo-Med uth pads in the bottom selve. ( i like using 2 should 1 fail the other 1 will carry it) I have them plugged into a Helix db-1000 and I also have a small fan for air circulation. I have 4 of the 18 clutches I am expecting in there now and the temp is constant at 80*

Yes, it's very possible. Fridge's are good because they are insulated and hold a good ambient temperature. Plus they are easy to convert. Here is mine:

I need to update these, because I have now finished it. Now I just need the eggs. ;)

Here is a good pic of my incubator I just took ten mins ago:

The water bottles heat up and radiate the warmth. It's a good way to create good ambient temps. The fan helps to circulate the air inside. It also helps slow the growth of mold and bacteria.

Hope that helps!
