To make sure that you maintain the humidity and all as well as the water not all evaporating and going bone dry.

No, that would just leave room for way too many variables in the tub itself.

You could do it, but it would be a possible problem with keeping the temps even and stable.

Thanks! So, should I go with these plans? http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showthread.php?t=71770 :gj:

And how early should I set it up? Not until she is ready to blow, or sooner?

Oh... I just skimmed that egg tub thread, and it's for putting inside an incubator. :D Do you know of any good links for making my own?

what about air for the hatchling?

After they hatch and you want to leave them in the incubator, you can take off the press and seal to allow for air flow.

I personally immediately take them out when they hatch and sex them and put them in individual tubs.

Quick question - I've noticed on all the YouTube videos I've watched that when people use a grate, they usually lay the eggs out one by one because they've caught them early enough. If you catch your eggs after they've all stuck together, is the grate still an OK idea?

As I don't use the grate method, I would not be comfortable in answering this question, but I would assume it would be fine as long as the ambient temps are still 89-90 degrees and the humidity is fixed.

the info , i've been lookin for... thanks!!!
