Recommendations are made for the incubation of large numbers of crocodilian eggs with the following aims in mind: 1) To obtain a high hatching percentage; 2) To produce more viable hatchlings. Methods of collection of eggs are given, as well as time of collection. A basic method of incubation is discussed with suggestions for handling hatchlings.
