What do you guys find to be the most reasonably priced reliable incubators? Do a lot of you all use hovabators or do you build your own? I'm hopeing to produce about 8 clutchs this season and if they all drop at same time I want to be ready..
8 clutches might be getting in the range where hovabators may not be the most conveniant. You'd need probably at least 4 hovabators to accomidate 8 clutches depending on clutch size.

Where do you all get your rodents?? I use to breed rodents but my current living situation prohibits it. And $4.00 a small rat from the local petstore which is very small is killing me... I have a deep freezer and have been considering buying frozen I have only 12 snakes right now so I'd be buying probably about 100 or 150 rodents at a time..

Breeding your own is the best, IMHO...but in your case definately bying them in bulk like you mentioned would be next best case scenerio.

I have a question about multiple male clutchs.. Has anyone breed lets say a pastel male and yellowbelly male to a normal female and produced a pastel yellowbelly? I have heard about getting both morph offsprings in the clutch just wondering if its possible for a baby to get both father genes??

No, you wouldn't get a pastel yellowbelly from that.....you could get pastels AND yellowbelly's like you mentioned but thats as far as that goes.
