Need help understanding breeding season

[noob.with.ambitions]

Ok so im new to breeding royals and iv done some research and spoke to local breeders for some tips and guidance. Im due to collect a female next month to add to my slowly growing collection in my nearly finished racking system. I have my temps running at 32 CELSIUS year round which a few local breeders around me have suggested, my adult male het albino is currently housing in a 32 litre rub within the rack along side my cinnamon het albino until I add more shelves then im thinking to put my adults in 35 litre RUB's would this be suitable?

I am in the process of building my own incubator which I have built from a poly box and cut a hole in the top to place a sheet of glass for easy looking when it comes to heatmats should I cover all of the bottom?
Should I put water bottles on top of the mats?
Do I have to use light diffusers to desperate egg box and heatmat/water bottle or can I improvise with the likes of bamboo?
What humidity should I have in the egg box and incubator?
What temps should I have in the incubator and egg box?
What substrate do you recommend?
And finally...... I hope :L when iv waited 2 successful feeds in my care before I put in the male to the female, do I hqve to look for signs before I put him in with her or do I just put him in for 3 days unless he locks and that's when I repeat?
Oh, also how often do I put the male in with her and when do I know to stop putting him in with her?

Sorry for the 1,000,000 questions haha as I said im new and want to get it right, afterall im playing life and death with an innocent baby royal

Thanks for your help guys

Noob,
This is a lot of questions. Please don't take this as sarcasm because it is not. I mean this with the utmost sincerity. I understand your desire to get solid answers up front, but some of the experience is researching and learning with the wealth of information available in these threads. The "Search" function works well and there are sticky threads in many of the sub forums that have the answers you seek.

Even if you are getting a (ready to breed) female in a month, she should be quarentined for a minimum of 60 to 90 days. Some go longer yet. Then once you start pairing it could be easily 2 months or more before she ovulates. Once she goes, there is likely a minimum of 45 to 60 days before she would lay eggs. This gives you appoximately 8 months or more before you need an incubator that's ready. Relax and take a deep breath. Do some homework as you have time. Research and then come back with the questions you are truly unclear about and I'm certain many here will be happy to help, including myself.

Right now it's like you are asking how to rebuild an engine and you haven't bought a set of wrenches yet.

The most important thing is to make certain your hausbandry is adequate for the snakes you already have and your new female will have a place to be in quarentine until she is ready to be included with the others. The rest will follow. I look forward to seeing some of your threads in the future.
