No problem, you can email me directly if you have questions with the no substrate method. I have done it that way for about 10 years now so could probably assist you if need be. One other thing, be sure the tub is close to level so the water level is the same in the tub , doesn't have to be perfect either but you do NOT want the water to touch the eggs, they soak up to much moisture if they contact the water and that will kill them too . Droplets of water landing on the eggs at times when your removing the lid won't hurt them but a constant exposure to water causes them to soak up fluid , this soaking action changes the pressure inside the egg (by osmosis I think) this change occurs to rapid for the embryo and kills the snake if not corrected fast enough. You can't just dry them out quick either , you have to make gradual changes if something goes wrong , sudden changes shock the embryo to much. Common sence goes along way , prevent the problem from the start and you won't have near the trouble.
