Hi there,
I said I was going to post some pics last month of my first clutch, but I just got so busy, but here they are now. Ive got a few clutches since then, and they are in the incubator right now, with several more slated to come next week. One of my girls looks like she may lay today, but you never know till you see the white of the egg!LOL. Total expected clutches this year for us is 46, so we still have a long way to go. I just love this hobby.
First pic is a DH Snow X Het Albino 5 egg clutch, the second is Pastel X Possible Shatter 11 egg clutch, and the last pic is my 1st 2007 clutch from BLK Pastel X Pastel. Thanks and Good luck this season. Enjoy

Hi,
My egg bin lids are not even snug, so I use the wrap to hold in the humidity. RDR uses a double barrier method too. Most walk incubator people use a sheet of 1/4 inch glass above styro containers to keep their humidity up. It is not totally sealing the container but it doesnt let the vermiculite dry out. I mix my substrate with water at equal weight, then add the eggs to the container, then record the total weight. After a week or two, I weigh the containers and see how much evap I had, and add more water to bring the conatiner and substrate back up to its proper ratio. This ensures me that my eggs are at a proper humidity throughout their incubation period. It work well for us.
