There's a good plan.

Why were you keeping two supposed males together?

I agree with Zoe. Irreguardless of sex it is always best in my (& most others) opinions to keep all specimens individually except for breeding purposes. It prevents unwanted breedings, cannibalism & overall makes it much easier to observe the individual animals health, habits, cycles etc. My opinion. Mark I.

Well, its one thing to keep 1.1 together which can be done provided there is enough room, but why keep 2.0 together? If they truly had been males, one would probably be dead by now.

You can buy a hova-bator at most reptile shops.

Perhaps you should advise him against it.
While two males probably can be kept together in certain circumstances, would you really want to risk stress and combatting just to save a bit of $?

i use the hova bator incubators first one cost me 80 3 years ago and i just bought 1 last weekend for 65. They arent' a bad price for people who cant build nothing to save thier lives. Ok maybe thats just me. LOL. i cant build so i buy ones already made.

I noticed that your in Florida, so with a humidity box (well ventilated) I wouldn't even bother with an incubator. Temps there are high enough (if you don't run the air conditioner on them) that with a box in a cabinet (less temperture fulctuations) they should do really well regardless. JMH(or not so humble)O.
