I will give you guys credit, SIM is about as natural an incubation method as any out there.

So, how well do you think a SIM cage would work? Because that's exactly how snakes work in nature as well. And you would not need to water them.

As you know, I have an incubator room. So there is not need for the SIM method.
But my son tested a method for Torts that is crazy and it worked so well its was ridiculous. So I tried it on Flavis and it also worked really well.
I am not sure where he got this method but it is, Dry perlite, with a cup of water. In a plastic box. It worked with torts so well, even infertile eggs hatched. Ok, only one what what a weird story. With Flavi eggs, I barely added a water and provided a cup of water. As Flavi eggs can go as long as a year, incubating them the old way was a bit tricky. With the cup of water, it stayed perfect the entire incubation. no adding at anytime.
