Alright, I want to try my hand at breeding, hence the reason I'm getting a trio of Fat Tails...and I understand all the pre-breeding activities, all the preparation for her to lay, etc.
Now I'm just learning about incubation methods, and I found one that I really like, however, I'd like to know people's opinions on if it's a good method:

Three questions I have with this are:
1. He said, "you have to keep the substrate damp, if it dries out you have to make it damp again without unnecessarily wetting the eggs" which would say to me "move the eggs" but it says that the enbryos die if they're moved too much. So in the case that you have to redampen the substrate, do you just spray around them? How else do you avoid disturbing the eggs?
2. What, in your opinion, is the best substrate for the incubator? I like the idea of paper towel.
3. With hatchling Fat Tail geckos, can they go back into the large community tank with the mother(s) and father, or is it best to keep them seperate? Because I will have a 1.2 breeding trio in a tank, but I can also make other enclosures if it's inadvisable to put the hatchlings back with their parents.
Thanks guys
