first things first you use a male to fertilize the eggs, then you use vermiculite to incubate the eggs. You can either buy an incubator or build like me (much cheaper and does the same thing). To tell if your female is prego you can feel them in her stomach (they feel like grapes) and sometimes you can see the bulges in the side of her but sometimes you can't feel or see this so you go by the signs that she needs to lay (diiging constanly in corners) this can also mean stress though so you'd have to be the judge on that.

all the info you are looking for is all here for the taking....go to the top of this page...hit the search tab and type in "build an incubator" it will list most of the threads relating to that subject.
You'll find instructions & pics for a few different kinds of homebuilt models.
Hope this helps...just thought it would be easier this way and you could see a few differnt kinds
