I just purchased a Danby Maitre'd wine chiller from Walmart, and it has a programmable temperature range of 39 - 72 F. It is a solid build and it is maintaining a constant temperature of 69 F within less than a degree. Very impressive temperature control for a unit that is only $70.
Here it is:

Since the trays are meant for holding wine, they are curvy, so I placed plastic lids over top of the trays to create flat surfaces. Then I put the eggs in a small plastic container with vermiculate on top of the trays. Really pleased with this considering the Exo terra incubator has gotten really bad reviews and other mini fridges usually can't maintain any temperature above 66 F, which is too low.
It has been suggested that incubating rhac eggs at lower temperatures may yield a higher proportion of females and as well that the increased incubation period at low temps may give rise to stronger and better developed hatchlings.
Hopefully this will be a logical option for people wanting to experiment with incubation at lower temperatures.
