hey guys and girls its been a long time since i been on .. i have missed u all tho .. anyways i know breeding season has started for some and is coming for others .. and i will be breeding this year just only one clutch since it is my 1st year ever breeding 1 clutch will be fine for me .. anyways i was wondering if i can get by with this instead of a incubator if i just ran some heat tape or heat pads under or around a shoe box will that work? i was gonna buy a incubator since my clutch size will be small for the next couple of years but i figured maybe this will work n i can save some money.. i also was thinking of just letting my female keep them with her but ive heard that they will hardly take food thru the whole process and i need her ready for next year so i dont wanna chance it even tho she shouldnt drop that much weight shes at gotta be 1700-1800 g right now .. any advice would be helpful thanks in advance
