>>Kyle how are yours set up? I am using Sterlite 6qt containers

I'm using a modified no-substrate method this year for both my colubrid and ball python eggs. So far it's working great.

My eggs are in Glad or Zip-loc storage containers that have about a half-inch of dry perlite on the bottom. The egg containers have several holes punched in the top for air/humidity flow. The egg containers are placed inside a sterilite container that has roughly 4 inches of perlite in it that is soaking wet - actually it has so much water that there is a bit of water seen just above the top of the perlite. The sterilites are placed in the incubator. I have a hygrometer in the egg container and the humidity has stayed the whole time at 96% yet the eggs stay dry.

I've been breeding herps for over 15 years and this is the first time I've used this system. And I am really happy with how it's working so far!
