Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Opinions on incubating
I'm wondering what everyone's opinion is on letting the females incubate the eggs themselves or using an incubator?

I have always used an incubator...
Even if you do Maternal Incubation it is good to have an incubator ready to go also...Unless you don't care if the eggs hatch...
They aren't all good moms!

I use an incubator. Unless your reptile room has an independent thermostat from the rest of your house and you are comfortable babysitting humidity levels in the enclosure constantly, then I would recommend an incubator.

I agree humidity levels are a lot harder to keep in an enclosure rather than a sealed container inside an incubator. Its all personal preference though another thing id like to point out is when a female maternally incubates thats another sixty days without food so getting her back up to size for the next season would be pretty tough.

You have better luck and higher percentage rate when you can keep the eggs in a better controlled environment.

I do maternal primarily these days. Although I just had my non compliant female this season. I do not recommend it unless you are a 10-20 year Veteran keeping reptiles. IMHO.

When I was not using a heated room I would never think about it, but this year I have incubated leopard gecko eggs in a delicup set up on the shelf. They incubated around 83F and hatched 50 days later...they are all doing good and I have another clutch incubating right now. This has made me strongly consider trying maternal incubation with my gtps and balls. I do not breed anyone back to back, personal preference, so the maternal fast is not a huge concern for me.

Personally I like incubating the eggs. I have one female that is not the best parent in the world...

They eat while maternally incubating so when the babies hatch, they are already back to prelay weight.
