Question:

can i use this for an incubator?

can i use a 10 gallon tank soil/vermiculite and a heat lamp while misting tank every few hours to have a successful reptile egg incubator

Answer:

I've posted a link to a DIY incubator made out of an aquarium. It tells you step by step how to do this.
yes and really all you should do is get wet sand that has been rung out through a strainer then put it in the tank use a paint brush or something like it and brush the sand around it but not on it then keep in warm with the heat lamp mist it at least twice a day.p.s. I seen a pro do this. he breeds snakes,rats, and I think other thing but I can't be sure.
Ok the answer is yes its possible for you to rig that to work given proper conditions, but i think that if you want to breed reptiles you should shell out the cash to buy a standard $50.00 incubator for chickens it works just as good as the ones you see on zoo med
