I was wondering if anyone knows how to build one of the incubaters in the TKG. or if you know where I could find some plans.
and second how do you get the egg sac from the mother?

I've built one but didn't use it, due to the egg sack being too well defended.

You will need:
1 X Large Jar with screw on lid.
1 X Paper towel kinda material
Vermiculite
Water
Screwdriver

1) Remove lid from jar
2) Make a soupy mix of vermiculite+water in the jar. Fill the jar about a fifth with it.
3) *DO NOT PIERCE THE LID* and place the towel in the opening, so it falls down to form a 'hammock' styled thing.
4) Make several piercings into the jar BELOW THE PAPER TOWEL
5) Place the egg on the towel, and secure the lid back on

The theory is, moisture circulates through the towel for the egg, without mites getting onto it.

Hope this helps, I'd draw a diagram, but my paint wont let me save as .jpg for some reason

Ohh as for removing the egg... My advice is to leave it with her! But your best move is to remove her first I think
