    Glad to see this post! Thank you!

    I'll consider releasing some photos of morph females on eggs real soon. I don't recall seeing any, at any time, ever... Anybody?

    After going both routes for years.. Maternal Incubation is where we are from here on out... Have fun with your Incubators!

    I like the predictability and reliability of using an incubator. I also like getting the female back on a nutritious feeding schedule sooner than later.

    If you're using quality thermostats I don't see how the incubator should be the more predictable/reliable of the two. Sure in the rack there's a gradient but BPs in the wild also have a range of temperatures from which to choose yet seem more than capable of getting it right. As to using artificial to get the female back on food asap, I completely agree with this reasoning for the choice.

    I'm in Barbados I could easily leave my eggs and mom in the tub without heat and they will hatch

    We haven't had a problem with brooding mothers eating yet. They have all taken their food weekly on eggs as they did before laying.

    The OP sold off his collection early this year. This thread is over a year old.

    I would like to try maternal incubation, but I am so afraid I would screw things up.

    Everyone decides to do things their own way, and I think that's great.
