    Do you have any pictures of the mesh and the incubator? This might help us visualize what you're using.

    Egg crate is from Home Depot or Lowes and you can cut it to fit the size of your egg tub. It's like $13 or something like that. That's what I use in my egg tubs.

    Sounds like you have a hovabator. Are you using a good thermostat or the original equipment that came with it. I agree with putting them on egg crate but you may also need to tweak the incubator.

    I dont think your temps or humidity are right. You're using an analog thermometer, which aren't very reliable.

    That's a ThermoMETER, not a thermoSTAT.

    A thermostat regulates temps.
    A thermometer measures temps.

    The hovabator needs a mod in order to use it reliably for snake eggs. You need to hook up your own reliable thermostat.
    the hovabator one isn't accurate.

    And try using a digital thermometer/hygrometer. The dial ones from pet stores are inaccurate and not reliable either.

    Do you have a thermostat hooked up to your hovabator?
