Hello, I have one female and one male that i would like to breed. My question is what is the best way to heat the baby leos? I do not want to buy a rack system since its just the one pair mating and will only have like 14-20 babies. And of course it would be ridiculous to have each one in an aquarium with an UTH. I've done some research on the heat tape and have read several horror stories about it melting the tubs and starting fires even when connected to a thermostat. Im leaning toward the zoo med heat rope, has anyone used this or heard anything about it?

As long as you incutate the eggs at 80-82 degrees you will get females. That way you can keep more then one female in a terrairium. What I do is put my babies in a seperate plastic container with no heat pad, that sits in a warm spot in my house until they shed and eat twice, this ussually takes 1 1/2 weeks then I add them to a previously setup terrairium that I raise my young in until I find them new homes. If your house is quite cool you might want to get a plastic safe heat pad. I personally do not like rack setups.
