thank you....since my first clutch was a surprise, when should I get the tub warmed up for the eggs (how soon before they are expected)

Roughly about 30 days after she sheds you should expect eggs. They "generally" take a few days longer, but be prepared by day 25 to be safe.

should I have the egg tub pre-heated in the incubator waiting for them to arrive?

I get the egg tub prepped and ready anywhere from 5-10 days before the 30 day mark after her post ovy shed. It will only take a day for the media to get to temperature, but I don't like surprises. I have my first female at day 32 post ovy shed now and I have had the egg tub ready for ~ 10 days.

Awesome, thank you. I will get it ready in a few weeks. And I'm never supposed to open the press and seal until day 40ish right?

I don't use press n seal. It is not required if your media is damp enough. Just a waste of $$ and another thing to deal with.

Oh, do you ever open your tubs to let some fresh air in?

No need for fresh air. I only open the tubs the last 2-3 weeks to wipe condensation from the lid.

She shed last night, we will see what happens in 30 days 😃

This will happen ;)
