    How difficult is it???

    Most babies I've raised were mammals. I was wanting to try incubating a clutch sometime in the future.I was wondering how hard it is and what it would run expense wise.I'm not looking at raising multiple clutches. Just wanted to try.
    Will be at least a year before I have anything to breed.

    its not too expensive to make an incubator.... you can make one out of a small refridgerator..

    I would ask Adam (adamwysoki sp??)

    0.1.0 Sister in law (Blondie, GGRRR but gotta <3 her)
    2.0.0 Ball Python (Kilo my baby boy, Gonzo My new male)
    1.2.0 Breeding Rats (No pups yet)
    0.0.1 Gecko (unamed at this moment)
    0.0.1 Chinese Water Dragon (Mister)

    You can lead a horse to water, But you can't make it drink.....

    Thanks folks. I was just toying with the idea at the moment. Being the worried mom type I don't know if I could let the babies go. Not that they would care.

    Don't want to end up with too many pets.

    Maternal incubation is free, but a lot of herpers are against it, as some believe it to be stressful on the brooding female. The cost of incubators vary. Hovabators are around $40 but are prone to let temperatures fluctuate during incubation. A popular do-it-yourself incubator includes installing heat tape in a refridgerator or anything else that has good insulation. You can find incubators for sell for $300+
