Artificial vs. Natural Incubation

Here is a new topic...how many people out there use an incubator and how many people let the females do their thing? What are your success rates and what do you use? (its 11:45 here on a saturday night...I am BORED entertain me )

valley falls, huh? there have been some pretty cool animals out in that neck of the woods (I know, because I brought them with me when I was visiting family). anyhow - I think you will find that most people go for "artificial" incubation. reasons being: more consistent temperatures, easier to maintain constant humidity, ability to get females feeding sooner. (just out of curiousity - was this question just for entertainment, or are you waiting for eggs?)

I have tried it both ways

With a large female albino i had, i let her incubate them, i had 25 eggs and all 25 hatched.. i have also done it with artificial incubation with 100% hatch rate,so i guess it is a matter of opinion.. I like the artificial better because i feel like i can control the temps and humidity better.. Good luck!! Mike
