1. Im pretty sure you fill the cups with the special moss stuff. Then place the eggs about halfway in without turning the egg at all! If you turn it durring the move it will die. On the incubator there should be a thermometer (hopefully) and you should set the temp or WATT that will make it the right temp. Dont forget the moss stuff needs to be DAMP at all times!
2. Honestly...and with all due respect, your question vague, for example...what KIND of reptile? It is never as simple as "putting the eggs inside it and that's it". Breeding ANY reptile should only be done after gaining a through knowledge of the species and their requirements. There are many valuable reference sites out there witch can give you a good basic understanding but a commitment such as this should only be undertaken with complete knowledge. You will not find a simple answer to this question here and if you are "thinking" about breeding ANY reptile I would suggest that you do ALLOT more research into what's required before you even consider it further.
