There are various methods. The simplest involves using some sort of container like a kritter keeper or small sterlite box. You use a piece of fabric or nylon to make a hammock which is held on by the lid. In the bottom of the box goes water to keep the humidity. The eggsac or the eggs themselves can be dumped out on the hammock. If the eggsac is placed on it, it must be turned several times a day, like mommy does. If dumped out they don't need to be touched. Make sure the lid has adequate ventillation. Can be incubated at 75F-85F. Put the box inside another to contain babies if they try to get out. Do searches for tarantula artificial incubator to find other instructions and pictures. You can also search for tarantula mechanical mom, for another tyoe of incubator.
