well you need a tub for each hatchling so 8 egg avg x 3 but thats a guess only you could end up with more or less.

6qt tubs work great for hatchlings
cost varies on how you build it you can anywhere from $40 to $4,000 and up
incubator you can use a cooler, fridge, pretty much anything that can keep in heat

Can you buy a under water heater for like an aquarium? I have seen ppl make an incubator out of a cooler filled with water in the bottom and one of them as the heater. I will look or it on you tube for you
