if i put them in a sterilite 41qt container 34 1/2 x 16 x 6 can i safely do that would there be any foreseen problems

also can someone explain the no substrate steps, its perlite and plastic screen and water i just dont know how much

My question if you did: Are you expecting all visible morphs, or will some be hets and possible hets, and will you be able to tell what is what based on what hatches first???

oh yeah they will be pastels or normals and ill know what eggs came from who

im just doing that so i can evenly heat container consistently

now next year ill use a seperate container for the hets

I have done it in the past when I was short on incubator space. However, I would only do it when the clutches were laid atleast 2 weeks apart. That way you don't have clutches expected to hatch within a couple days of each other. I like to keep try of all my breedings, even, if they are the same from different pairs (for example all het albinos but from different mothers).

Good luck.

I do it all the time with my colubrids. Seven or more clutches. My incubators are 3' x 2' x 2' with a large styrofoam box inside that's almost as big and covered with a glass lid. I make a quick diagram of who's who, etc., and when the egg(s) start pipping they're moved into a smaller container which also fits inside the incubator. If they're pipping, moving them carefully won't harm them, just don't turn or flip the eggs.
I'll do the same with my BP's if more than one lays eggs.
Incubator is on a Herpstat .
