Sorry but theirs no full proof way to incubate eggs, and I cant be brief on such an important question.

Incubation is a variable event, no eggs in nature are incubated at a steady temperature or a steady humidity level, why? Because nature is unstable.

The secret to incubation is to get good strong eggs to began with, and this starts with the husbandry of the parents, if your lizards are well conditioned and have the necessary support and good nesting options, they lay good and strong eggs that will hatch strong babies.

Week eggs result in week babies no matter how good your incubation is. Strong eggs can tolerate flooding and huge temperature variation and still hatch out as strong babies.

So remember this, if you ever hatch out week or full term dead in the egg, it most likely is not about your incubation, its a lot more about your husbandry.

Pro breeders who learned this the hard way will not share this information.
