I am Interested in Breeding my 2 albino leo's in the future, But I would like to know where I could purchase an incubator, or If I Should make my own? Also is it pretty difficult to breed leo's successfully? What about the diff. morphs is one harder than the other? and how many eggs should I expect? What should I sell the babies for? One more ? if I mated an albino with a patternless leo what would I get or what has any of you guys got?

i can't build anything so i bought mine. Hovabator is one of the most common incubator used. They should run around 60-70 USD and most specalty herp store will carry them. or if you go to a reptile expo your sure to see one there, and possibly get one cheaper.
Holy cow, drewlowe, prices are high in your area! I paid $38 for my Hobavator in the Philly suburbs and people are always happy to tell me how much less they paid. ;)
Farm supply and feed and seed stores often carry them for far less than herp stores so many knowledgeable herp stores near me are finally starting to lower their prices in response.

Lucky you eyespy!!!!! i've bout 2 of them at 65 a piece (that's the cheapest i've seen) Next time i need a new one it's off to the feed store to see if they carry them. Thanks for the advice. If not i'll just have to see if you'll ship me one. That would even be cheaper!!!! :D
a water based incubator.. found this site a while ago.

except it could probably work with a cheaper 5 gallon instead of 10.. just watch for the egg shaking like it's about to hatch.. then u wanna move it so the leo doesnt get out and jump in the water.

After the female leo lays her eggs how long do I have to get them incubated, before they go bad? With the water based incubator can you control the heat?
for the water incubator u can use an in tank water heater easily found in a pet store. also get a thermometer and humidity reader to regulate the egg's condition.
