Re: Leave eggs with mother or incubate seperately?

A female that is properly sized when bred should have no problems incubating her eggs -- yes she looks like hell after the eggs are laid -- because she is supposed to -- they are designed to stretch to fit the eggs inside of them as well as be able to cover them all up when they come out -- much easier to do if they aren't all roundish.
Taking them is easy unwrap carefully!
How do you get your temps/humidity right? What are the temps/humidity supposed to be while incubating w/ and w/o the mother?
Thanks for input!
