Re: how does everyone incubate?
I used Nature's Spirit incubator last year. It held temps and humidity perfectly. We're going to try to build one out of an old fridge after the holidays. Wish us luck!

Do a search for Maternal Incubation. One person did it successfully but most will agree that it isn't the right way to go.
Re: how does everyone incubate?
I have a hoverbator for now. I've been incubated the leo eggs in the empty slot in my ball python rack. It's 82 degrees on the cool side :P
I would like to get one of the nature's spirit incubators in the future, but I think I may have to make the first ball python egg season go with a hovabator.
Boaphile caging put a big dent in expenses.

Actually, another guy posted a thread with his albino hatchlings... he also left them with the female ball for maternal incubation and had success.
Re: how does everyone incubate?
I'm also building a bator out of a mini fridge for now.

Natures Spirit for the BP's, Hovabator for the kings and rats.
