You asked. We told you. You don't like our answers...?

I personally don't use a Hovabator. I think its a pretty poor python egg set up. Others use them with great success. People who use a hovabator with no egg box invariably have problems. Also, if you're using the thing right out of the box its far to shallow. Finally, a new thing you brought up in your last...the perlite? You have the eggs sitting in straight perlite? That would have a tendency to pull moisture out of the eggs. I use straight perlite in my no sub set-up, but would never use it in a traditional set-up. And why do you think perlite dries out any slower than vermiculite?
