A lot of people use hovabators. You can do a search online for Hovabator. Some of the big reptile stores sell it also. Another option is find a place that sells chicken incubators. I dont know how easy that would be in your area, LoL I live in Texas so it is very easy LoL Anyways hope that helps.

If you can find a place in your house that stays consistantly around 80°, then you don't need an incubator.

I wouldn't keep the eggs with the mom. The humidity wouldn't be high enough in a large enclosure!

I got a hovabator at my local co-op (farm supply store). It was only $36.00. Be sure not to get the one that turns the eggs, though!

I hope you haven't been keeping the temp. at 90 degrees, because if so, you are risking the eggs.

The only way you'll keep the temperature level is by attaching the heating device to a thermostat. This isn't ideal with a bulb as it means the light will keep going on and off. Better to use a heat mat.

Definitely take them away from mom - as well a normal tank as not being humid enough, she doesn't care about the eggs and she might knock their container. If snake eggs are turned, they often die.
