I got about 20 cocoons so that's a good sign..... Should I keep them in an incubator or just leave them out....???

you need to be a bit less vague... what kind of cocoons, what kind of incubator, what are the temps of the incubator, what are the temps outside the incubator.
 
Are you just feeding them off as treats? NO need to be so careful, silkworm moths hatch as easy as 1-2-3 lol.

Hope you raised them on white mulberry leaves if you're planning on breeding them!
 
Today I found out that 19/20 cocoons had dead worms.... I don't know what the he'll happened but I do know that did it by the book.... Can a silkworm die inside the cocoon because it was sick??? I'm confused as hell with no worms in the bank..there was only ONE worm that molted and that's about it. I know this because I cut open all the cocoons and taped the good one back up. It's probably going yo die but I am with no worms now.... Could this be from the disease that killed half my worms from before??? They were all dead worms which means they died about 5 days ago..... So maybe they were infected could that be a reason???? Please give me some info people.... This is not good...
 
Why don't you just buy silkworms from a reptile store? You live in Toronto right? Just visit Tails and Scales at Keele/Dundas and buy them a few at a time. No need to get so complicated. How many chams do you have??
 
It doesn't matter how many I have... I wanna bread silkworms... I wanna see what it's like.... So I'm asking why they all died even though they all made cocoons...
