    I usually artificially incubate my clutches bc maternal incubation is a little risky. I think I would consider it in the future, but I would have to go with a nest box inside the tub. This way I could more adequately control the humidity for the eggs.

    Since it is easier to provide optimum temp and humidity in one place rather than multiple, I use an incubator. I try to put all the chances on my side.

    I could see maternal incubation if I had 1 or 2 clutches a year but it's not the case.
