Hello everybody... I will be breeding my Pastel male this year in an attempt to get a female to add to my collection. I want a Super but i dont wanna pay for him. Anyway, I was wondering if anybody could give me any advice in which incubator to use. I have read about the Hova Bator incubator. Has anybody used this particular model? I need a retail option, unfortunately i have no access to tools or a workshop. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Jason

The Hova-bator is a good starter model. You will want to make some adjustments though depending on the model you get. Some people go out and spend $500 dollars on an incubator to find that breeding is not for them. The Hova-bator is good enough, and inexpensive enough to test the waters. Have you considered maternal incubation?

Maternal incubation....is that just letting the mother care for the eggs?

What if anything do i need to change in the enviroment for the eggs and the snake? Could you explain a little? Thanks alot.

I don't use maternal incubation. But others on this forum do. I would either do a search or ask what steps you would need to perform. Basically, you need to provide an environment with adequate heat and humidity. Of course, there's quite a bit more to it.
