    just curious

    Just curious how many of u guys when breeding let the female keep the eggs till they hatch. I see a lot of breeders and other collector that use incubators and other methods but was always curious.

    I don't, but I live in the desert, there's just no way for me to get the humidiy consistently where it needs to be.

    I always maternally incubate, but it's a personal preference. Most keepers prefer artificial incubation but either method (provided you've done your research beforehand) will result in healthy hatchlings.

    I would say the vast majority artificially incubates. For me, maternally incubating is way too much work and has too much room for error. I incubate substrateless for that same reason. If I really wanted to I could put the eggs in the incubator and never look at them again until they hatch. I prefer the most fool proof way because I will screw it up if I have to be too involved
