in order to bread you'll knead:

flour
sodium chloride
yeast
1-alpha dextro glucopyranocyl-2-beta levo fructofuranocide
leche
dihydrogen monoxide

and an exothermic reaction

You can get these commonly at the grocery store

no no no no no no NO....

just giving ya a hard time...a little fun at your expense. :p

Definitely do some searches as mentioned in another thread you have going, however in this case pertaining to incubation/incubators. There have been a few recent, somewhat well discussed topics regarding them and techniques as a whole. There's a ton of information out there and we as a community are definitely willing to help, but I'd strongly suggest doing some of the work and formulating questions that dig farther into what you may be after. There is a fair amount involved with breeding outside of just merely picking an incubator. I need to get to feeding my own collection and then to bed for work early tomorrow, but I'll even try doing some digging for some good threads to point you into the right direction.

For starters though, and I don't know how many times I've linked to Damon's page, but check out...

Mr-148, LLL, and exoterra are the top ones. Exoterra is the best IMO at 150 shipped with two shelves

Reviews on the Exo Terra incubator on amazon seems to indicate the temperature fluctuates like crazy. Have you experienced this with your Exo Terra?

I'm also looking at incubators right now, not for breeding anytime soon but for a planned next year breeding. Been checking out MR-148 since it's on sale right now: http://lllreptile.com/store/catalog/-/lllreptile-pro-mr148-incubator/

Bigappleherp.com also has one: http://www.bigappleherp.com/Accu-Temp-6000-Reptile-Incubator-Digital-Reptile-Incubator

And of course the exo terra one you mentioned: http://www.amazon.com/Exo-Terra-Dig...LREA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1308590335&sr=8-1

They are all similarly priced, been reading pros and cons of them on various forums. So far leaning towards MR-148, does anybody have a preference here, preferably by people that actually use these things? Thanks :)

I use the LLL MR-148 and it has worked perfect for me so far. It's not really big, but if you use the GEO it really helps save space. You can incubate at least 48 eggs on the top shelf with the GEO, so unless your gonna go crazy, it's fine.

The top and the bottom temps are around 2 degrees different though. So I have been using just the top section. I believe this is pretty standard in these fridge models. Get yourself a digital thermometer and stick it inside the fridge and test the temps in different spots. I found that for my house I set the fridge temp at 88 and it gives me a consistent 82 degrees where I am incubating. Again, this is pretty standard from what I've read.

I am currently purchasing another one, today actually, so I guess I would say I'm pleased with it so far.
