Breeing Questions?

I have a few questions about breeding, as I plan to get into it a little bit so I can keep some of the harder to find snakes in the US more popular a bit, and also get some CB ones around. So here are a few questions I have. Also I know every snakes are different but, i'm just looking for a general idea.

1.) How long does it usually take snakes to lay eggs?

2.) How long does the eggs usually incubate before hatching?

3.) What is a good incubator, that isnt going to kill my pocket?

1) Usually 27 days after their post ovulation shed.
2) Eggs usually hatch 52 - 60 days after they are laid.
3) Build your own. An old freezer makes an excellent platform for such a project.

Thanks a bunch for your information. I'm nowheres near umm how do I put it, artistic enough to build my own? lol I have a hard time completing about anything I start because I get bored of stuff. I'll have to see abotu doing it though or attempting to or figuring out.

We did build our own out of an old fridge (I think freezer would be better though) and it wasn't too difficult. Before then we bought a small incubator from Natures Spirit. It does the job well for up to 9 or so egg boxes.

Ouch, $320, thats out of my price range. lol, I will learn how to make my own incubator for that much. OUCH again.
