What size tubs do you use for your egg boxes? What is the smallest you would use? My incubator is not being cooperative! How many eggs can you get into your egg box? Can I use sand as my medium instead of perlite? My hardware store has all their plant stuff away for the winter.

One of my females looked super gravid about a month ago and was eating like madd. She was also glowing and had several uncharacteristic shed cycles. She had her last meal on 12-6 and will not eat now. She no longer looks "huge" and her glow is gone. From what I have read she is close. What do you think?
