paulus 26 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 i had one when i was a kid that was just a plastic sphere that split in 2, the top half being clear plastic and the bottom half yellow plastic, water went in the bottom, the top had a gauze tray that was bent at 90deg with tin foil on the upright bit, behind this was a light bulb and that was it, but it worked my old man made one using a heat pad from a reptile vivarium a good few years ago Quote Link to post Share on other sites
