    So I checked their temps the other day and she is keeping them @ 89.5* - 91* so I think I am just going to let her incubate them, is there any reason I shouldn't.

    I would indeed use an incubator for a project like this...Problem is not the temps but the humidity and using an incubator with eggs placed in vermiculite in a box gives the right humidity so the eggs dont dry out..
    Just in case you dont know this, Dont turn the eggs when you move them into the incubator (If you choose to do so) , they have to be in the same position as mom put them, otherwise they also go bad.
    Just my thoughts :)
    Congrats on the nice clutch :)

    I was concerned with the humidity as well so I figured if I put some sphagnum moss in there it would help with the humidity. I know I don't want 100% humidity with momma being in there but if I bumped it up to 80% that should keep them happy, unless I am terribly mistaken.

    There are quite a few threads here on maternal incubation. I would advise you to go through them and then make the choice for yourself :) I use an incubator because I like knowing that they are in the perfect conditions for hatching out perfect babies, but thats me :) Good luck and congrats on the eggs :gj:

    Ok I've done some research and based on >this thread< and >This Link< I am going to let the momma brood them and keep a close eye on the temps and humidity.

    Thanks for all of the help and advice it is greatly appreciated.
