what is better, letting the snake incubate the eggs or to go buy an incubater?

Which came first, the snake or the egg?
Basically, I don't think there's an absolute answer to that question. People use both methods successfully. You can control the environment more precisely with an incubator, but with a mama snake you have someone monitoring the temps for you 24/7.

Here is the long and boring story of my one maternal incubation experience (skip half page down to get to the part about incubation):

I am thinking about trying it with one or two other females this year (particularly my biggest who looks like she could lay 12 eggs).
Here is an equally boring post about my incubator in case you want to build one:

I think the snake came first because before it was a snake it had legs so that thing layed eggs and then eventually evolved to a snake.
There is no pleasure in having nothing to do; the fun is in having lots to do and not doing it.

i think the egg came first because alizard had to lay the egg for the snake to hatch out of. lol
i need a incubator too.

My personal opinion on the subject is that removeing the eggs from the female is always better 1: you have total control over the conditions of incubation IE: temps ,humidity , egg visability,removal of bad eggs with out itteruption 2: the female can resume life as usuall sooner ,get her body weight back up to where it should be
Its all a matter of opinion I guess, but that is my outlook on it

i too remove the eggs as it seems easier on me and on mom.the incubator i use was made by animl plastics and works great.

I think I remember hearing somewhere that Hovabators aren't as reliable because the heating core has been known to burn out... I invested in a Little Giant incubator and it's really been teriffic
