No incubator?

[PythonFan8]

if i had a 100 watt light bulb and right temperatures in the tank would a female be able to hatch the eggs without an incubator in its tank it is in right now? Thanks.

I very much doubt it.I say this because that light bulb would dry out the air and keep your humidity very low.In order for eggs to hatch they need humidity and heat.When you use a incubator its not inside the tank with the female.

What if i mist the air very often? If you know another way to keep humidity please tell me.

use other ways to heat the enclosure. either heat the room, use a UTH etc...there are other ways

[PythonFan8]

What is a UTH?

UTH= Under tank heater

I have an UTH so if i have one and mist the air would it be able to hatch the eggs?

Personaly i use hovabator incubators for both my ball python eggs and corn snake eggs.I have only heard of 1 person letting the female ball incubate the eggs,everyone else uses incubators.If you mist the tank you take a chance of getting the humidity to high and that can kill the eggs.Or you might not mist it enough and the low humidity will also cause the eggs to die off.In my opinion its less headaches using the incubators to hatch the eggs in.

Im new to this stuff. How do the incubators work? do i just let the eggs lay in the incubator and turn the incubator on and let it do the rest? or do i have to set the right temperatures and everything?

you have to set the incubator but yeah pretty much put them in, turn it on, and your good, but you need like to put them in a certain substrate that i forgot the name of... someone help me... vermicilitisocitimotitis... or something about like that
