>>The size is big enough.. but do they seal well? If they don't seal well you will need to add water periodically. I don't use the vermiculite method anymore so I can't direct you on that.

Press-n-seal works great!..I just trim off any extra plastic on the inside of the container lids so it doesn't interfere with it.
No substrate is definitely the easiest way to make sure the eggs have proper moisture for the duration of incubation.
I've been melting two small holes per container recently.One at the top of the side,and one at the bottom of the side(,just above the egg crate.)..Reasoning is,if there a buildup of carbon dioxide in the eggbox then(being a heavier gax than oxygen)it will automatically exit through the bottom hole.At the same time(slowly)drawing in fresh air from the top hole via the minor vacuum created.
