    I place a light diffuser grid on the ledge in a HovaBator, and fill the water reservoir with water. I place the eggs directly on the grid. I don't use individual boxes for them.

    Tubs, no holes, hatchrite (I will use something else when I run out of this), and a light diffuser. Simple :)

    My first year, I used Hatchrite, no diffuser - though I bought a panel of it. It still sits in a corner un-used.

    Every year after, I use straight Perlite, water added to be just barely moist to the touch.

    I use Sterilite 7 quart locking tub, no ventilation holes. I've used Press & Seal previous years, but didn't this year, I didn't notice much difference. I open the tubs when I think about looking in on them, but I mostly ignore them until about 2 weeks before hatch date. I'll peek in about once every two weeks, and if I notice pre-mature dimpling of the eggs, I'll add about a TBS of water to each corner of the tub.

    I have incubated at 89 degrees in past years but chose to incubate at 87 this year. I've had noticeably bigger babies by incubating a few degrees cooler and letting them bake a little slower.

    I would like to say thanks to everyone. This winter will be my first year breeding and this really helps. I have one question. I have seen on youtube people using the cooler style and thought bout using this seeing as how I have a cooler available and some what limited funds. Do you guys recommend or no? Also if you don't recommend it is it still okay to use. I will only be producing one clutch this year unfortunately but next year I will be stepping it up ;) Thanks in advance. :) :):)

    You mean like an ice-chest? Yup, they work just fine, that's what I use.

    I have my reptibator set up it is keeping the temp at 89.1 so probably just use that. However, I just wanted to make sure incase I get to many eggs or anything. ( I am gonna breed a pair of beardeds and pair of balls this season)
