I have a small collection, nothing special, common starter morphs. I have had two clutches to date, both maternally incubated. first clutch had 5 eggs.. all but one made it.. baby died coming out of the egg. second clutch again 5 eggs all babies are healthy in fact 3 pewters and two not so normal normals. Both moms ate while coiled on the eggs. Will I continue to use this method. Yes. will I ever try the other method.. perhaps. I do not feel that doing maternal incubation is risking the lives of the babies any more than artificial incubation. each method has its own risks but the reward is the same, healthy babies, and that is something everyone wants!
