How to make an incubator?

[Rocket]

Both species can be incubated at 28-29oC so an incubator designed for holding multiple clutches will be fine for both species.

id be more inclined to incubate the gex at 27 - 28 and the dragons at 29 -30....

but thats just me...

find a bar fridge, or an esky (depending on what size you want to make), a heatcord (i use 6m 50watt) and a decent thermostat....

Run the heat cord around the inside edges, connect to thermostat, set temp and off you go....
always check temps with a reliable thermometer too, you cant rely on the thermostat to be accurate!

Do i put the container the eggs are in, in the middle or on top of the heat cord??, oh and do i drill holes in the esky to put the heat cord in ?

in the middle, dont know how you will put them ontop if you run the cord around the sides! lol

yes drill a hole, poke the cord/s through and then silicon it up so its all sealed.
