Very nice Sean...One question though, how could you possibly fit 25 clutches in there unless you are using tiny egg boxes? My incubator from this past season is over 6 ft high and 30" wide with 4 shelves (and the bottom) and I can still only do 10 clutches in that. I'm a big fan of using a tall egg box. Lets you get a lot of incubation medium in there to keep the heat and humidity.

Thank you
Currently the probe comes in from the back (small hole) and it drapped about half way down in the middle of the incubator (testing in the general middle) - not sure where I will put it permanetly yet.

Thanks Jamie.
I do the substrateless method so I only need to use the 6QT rubbermaid tubs (I get 100% humidity and the extra water holds the temps perfectly) - I can put 4 on the first shelf, 8 on the next 2 shelves and 4 on the bottom shelf (2 end-to-end with 2 rows and 2 high). If I take out the middle shelf I can actually stack them 5 high. More then likely though when I actually need to do 25+ clutches at the same time I will build another one (that will be the day of my dreams :) )
