    Maternal Incubation in BPs *More Geek Read*
    Thought this was interesting as it implies that the only real benefit of maternal incubation (in a dry climate) is to slow dessication and give the eggs time to hatch and allowing for more yolk absorption. Ergo --> if we, as breeders, have the ability to do that even more efficiently than mom ever could (and reduce stress on mom as well), what is the point of maternal incubation?

    Food for thought.
