I was just wondering if everyone pulls the eggs to put them in an incubator or do they maternally incubate the eggs. Those who maternally incubate, do you raise the temperatures or anything? What is the benefit of maternal incubation if any?

...the benefit is that the female can fine-tune the micro-environment around the eggs, but it takes a lot of energy for the female to do this for 50 days. SJM
