Hey Frank,
As the co-designer and co-producer of the SIM incubation container, I am sure you now how I incubate my eggs. LOL. Why? Because in my opinion, it is a superior way of incubating reptile eggs for a variety. One reason is, it takes most human error out of the equation. There is no need to carefully weigh substrate and water to get the "right" ratio. The egg itself is regulating its hydration by taking what it needs fron the air and not what is being forced on it by being in a damp substrate. It allows the eggs to take in less carbon dioxide and more oxygen. This results in faster incubation and better developed hatchlings. I even have literature from a Zoo here in the US that backs this up. Plus, the damn thing looks cool. LOL

My hatchlings are set up in a hatchling rack with high humidity and the same temps they were incubated for a couple of weeks. Once they have had a few meals and have a bit more body mass, they are put into dryer, warmer conditions with a humid hide on the cool end for when they need to escape the hotter, dryer conditions.
