Setting Up Incubator

A while back I was at my Dad's & second Mom's and saw a 55 gallon aquarium that I thought I'd need at some time but put it on the back burner so to speak. Now that my female bearded dragon has laid some 2 dozen eggs I'll need it as a brooder pen. I face booked my sister asking who owned and could I buy it. It's hers and I can have it for free!
I plan on setting up my adult dragons in the new tank while setting up the existing one w/ a heating pad to keep the eggs warm for the next 62 days.
I've already promised Libby, my sister pick of the litter should any eggs hatch. After that, any other family wanting one can have the babes for free. Pet stores sell hatchlings for $50 and up. I'll let mine go for $40, along with a sack of food, farm fresh! Ground duck egg shells for added calcium, home grown meal worms and freshly digged up earthworms, assorted (imperfect) greens, fruits & veggies from the produce department at the grocery where I work... All these make my dragons and iguanas, ducks & geese happy & fat.
