I'm guessing that means "suspended incubation"?



I've heard it said that "humid but dry" is the best for eggs, meaning humid air but dry substrate. The suspension method was devised to approach that condition.



They use plastic "egg crate" light diffuser material among other things with the wet substrate below. Eggs are suspended above the wet substrate. Clever, inexpensive idea.



Seems to work very well for python eggs like Antaresia pythons whos eggs tend to absorb water easily and do best when not touching a wet substrate. Colubrid eggs do not need that method persay, but it works for them too.
