If i follow albey's too cool reptiles thing on making the thing with perlite and stuff for the leo eggs. If i were to put heating cable in there would that work instead of an incubator? All i need to know is will it keep the temp at like 83 and can i vary the temperature of heat cable? If so it would be a great money saver. 12.99 vs. 99.99.

99.99? What incubator are you looking at?! I got my hovabator for less than $40.
I do suppose that the heat cable idea would work, but you'd need to the spend some decent money on a rheostat/thermostat, so you'd likely be up to almost $30 or $40 anyway. I don't know I think it's just easier going with the hovabator. Just my $0.02

The thing from albey's too cool reptiles about incabtors, will that fit into the incubator at www.lllreptile.com the one that is for 38.95 or something like that. Or is that one to small?

That's actually the same incubator I have (I also got mine from LLL). And yes, most containers will fit in there. I actually use two eggs in a 4.5 inch deli cup (8 or 16 oz), and then I write the info (lay date, parents) on the cover so I know when to expect them. I have to use a little more water than albey because my deli cups have holes, but otherwise it works extremely well. Only had one set of non-hatches and that was from a first-timer.
