in all honesty the best advise I can give you is that you read and research on incubating and rearing ~ there are some excellent guides on various caresheets on the net ~ well before you think about breeding; also do a price-up of how much it will cost you ie: incubator (even a home-built incubator costs money), tubs/rubs for hatchlings, extra heating, extra food etc, extra time spent looking after them, cleaning etc plus if you're not keeping them will you be able to sell them? ~ bearing in mind females will lay between 6 and 16 eggs each and if you can't sell them can you afford to keep them?
