A herper named Steve Hammack did a kind of study on snake eggs using this method. This is why I suggest a dry substrate and hight relative humidity.

I've never used it myself and it was really neat seeing the photos you posted... Fantastic.

Congrats on a bunch of points.

>>Incubated at 81.7* with 97% humidity. No substrate method was used with great success. I can not find other records of this method being used before. After a lenghthy talk with a Reptile Zoo owner friend of mine. We started to get worried the shells would be to hard for the babies to break out. Thankfully not the case.
