Regarding the incubation device...you can not argue with success, and if someone does a great job using it and you have highly valued eggs, it might be worth it...
I wonder if you could achieve the same effect with something else, such as styrofoam egg carton, with holes in the bottom of the depressions? This would allow high humidity environment and gas exchange without contacting the media. I know the Green Tree Python and some gecko breeders are very fussy about that. I have seen tortoises hatched this way. Or that plastic sheeting they often use in bars/restaurants to allow glass ware to drip dry and protect from breakage, just a plastic grid?
Kingsnakes eggs are durable in my experience, and I have had great success with vermiculite and/or perlite. Why fix it if it ain't broke? And if FR gives you advice on incubating eggs, I would seriously consider it as valuable. good luck, Vic
