Re: Incubation, shoe box Q?
I don"t even use the lids on the egg boxes until a week before they hatch. I use press n seal to completely seal the box for 49 days. On day 50 I remove the press n seal and put the top on the box. I haven't had a problem as of yet.
Re: Incubation, shoe box Q?
I saw a video on youtube of someone using a simple styrofoam cooler with a few inches of water in it and an aquarium heater. The water was heated creating humidity and ambient air temp. Just add a couple holes to maintain proper humidity and open it once a day for fresh air. I might try it in a few years.

There is far better ways to incubate than that, I'm sure you'll learn that as you gain more experience.
Aquarium heaters are notoriously cheap, until you spend a lot on the better quality ones, and at that point you might as well build a mini fridge inc or wine cooler, etc...
Styrofoam coolers do not keep very stable temperatures unless kept in a room that is very stable.
Substrateless incubating in a mini fridge or commercial fridge like a true cooler is IMO a much safer and more efficient way to incubate.
