Can someone please help me by providing instruction to making a home made incubator for my dragons eggs.

or let me know how you incubate your eggs. i went to a local pet store and they don't sell incubators but the guy running the reptile department informed me it's easy to just make one but his discription was fast and not very detailed. If someone could please help out with the needed supplies and how to do it yeah it would be helpful.

Do a google on it. There are all kinds of different plans, everything from converting an old fridge to using a small cooler or fish tank.

Alright I've done some searching. Tell me what you think of this. Get one of those decent size rubbermaid containers from wal-mart and place a tall flat rock in the middle. Then take another smaller container and place the eggs in it with perlite and place the lid back on this container with holes poke through it. Then proceed to place this container on the flat rock (rock absorbes heat) and fill the big container with water up to the smaller container and place a fish tank heater in the water and set it for 100 degrees. How does this sound?

Sounds alright, I'm not sure about the 100 though. Just make sure the eggs are in the low 80s (83 is ideal). Personally I'd spend the few extra bucks and order a hovabator, it would make your life a lot easier. The fish tank method can be difficult to maintain temps in.

Yeah I will order one online for the next clutch but the eggs are already on their way and I needed something I could get fast and localy and there isn't any chicken feeders around. Thanks for the help though.
