im planning on breeding my leos soon and i have a question on incubation. from personal experiance is it ok to incubate eggs without a manufactured incubator? can you use a rubbermaid contianer with lights overhead? any other ideas? thanks.

If I was you, I'd fork out the $40 to get an incubator. If the temp of your eggs changes even 2 degrees up or down, there is a risk of your babies being deformed. Go to the page linked below to learn more about incubation.

first how long have you had your leos? How long have you been keeping leos? what's their weight and age.

the leos are actually at my friends house, but were both into reptiles and we split the cost of lots of things. so the leos are actually only half mine lol. we've been keeping leos for close to a year now. the male were planing on breeding is at least 80 grams and the female will be weighed tomarrow, but she will be easily over 50 grams. im just trying to have everything straighted out before hand . thanks.
