I haven't bred any reptiles so i really don't know, but why do you need to incubate the eggs? Why cant you just leave them in the substrate how they were laid?

Because we want them to hatch and that is a sure way to fail! Eggs are delicate and need certain requirements met. In the wild female monitors take advantage of perfect conditions in nature. We need to imitate those conditions as best we can if we hope to hatch out some mini dragons!
So that's why!

To incubate them is placing them in as close to ideal conditions for their eggs as possible, therefore they hatch in a shorter time, the babies develop faster, develop better, and eliminate sudden changes in the environment that can effect them negatively, which can occur when in the wild or in a cage with a broad range of condtions in it.
Alot more can go wrong without incubating them.
