How do juvenile Tok'ra symbiotes incubate?

[Alteran Prior]

If the Goa'uld use Jaffa to incubate their young symbiotes, how do the young Tok'ra symbiotes incubate?

[Snowman37]

Their hasn't been any for over two-thousand years. No one knows.

Check with the Pangarans (Season 6). Although, when they were through with all the young ones, there likely weren't any left to incubate.

I don't think that there are any juvenile Tok'ra.
As the Tok'ra lost their breeding Queen.

[Jedi_Master_Bra'tac]

Like others have mentioned, there were no juvenile Tok'ra anymore because they lost their queen. I don't know what they did 2000 years ago, though I'm under the impression that incubating larvae Goa'uld in Jaffa isn't necessary, it just makes it more likely that they'll be able to blend with humans. So it may be that a lot of Tok'ra 2000 years ago were unsuccessful at blending with humans

[escyos]

Its possible that Egeria bred the Tok'ra and they were mixed in with the other symbiotes in Jaffa and the Goa'uld lost track of where they all were.

This. From "Cure"

Prior to the process of incubating Goa'uld symbiotes using Jaffa, the blending between Goa'uld and host had only a one in two chance of success. Jaffa were created for the very reason of improving the ability of the symbiotes to take human hosts.

So, a Goa'uld or Tok'ra doesn't need incubation. It just makes a successful blending more likely.

This would be my theory.

[Jo-Ann]

Aren't they aquatic as little ones? I think we've seen them put the larvas in a tank? Couldn't that work if they don't have Jaffa?

I just watched some of season 1, and there's a Goa'uld queen (Hator) and she says the symbiotes doesn't have probelms blending when they get human dna. So maybe either that or be in a Jaffa works? Is that a possibility?

Sorry for all my questions, I haven't watched so much of sg-1 yet (most of 5, all? of 6-10, just started 1 as I only watched a few before), but I am working on it

[whiteravenone]

Receiving human DNA just makes it more likely to succeed. That plus incubation in Jaffa makes the chances 100%. As was said before, they can take hosts without Jaffa first, but some die. I think all plausible possibilities have been suggested already.

Or maybe they use anti-rejection drugs...

[K5Rakitan]

They are a dying race, so they don't have any offspring. They might have had a few in the beginning, but once they lost their queen there was no way to make more... unless there is some way for a regular symbiote to become a queen through the use of hormones or DNA manipulation. They said right off the bat that they were short on hosts anyway, so I doubt that they would take measures to breed more of themselves in the first place.

But then they allied with earth so there is hundreds of possible hosts also you forgot cloning

[jestermon]

Yeah they have more hosts but they don't use the sarcophagus so there is a finite number and they are all going get to the limit of their natural lifespan as symbiotes, so ultimately they will all die.
