How to set up an egg tub

[Big Gunns]

It helps keep the humidity in with the eggs without a lot of condensation dripping down on them. We air our eggs by removing the lid and lifting a corner of the cling wrap about every 3 to 5 days. Once they hit day 45 we remove the cling wrap all together and just pop the lid every day for a few seconds to air them (you'll see a lot more condensation developing at this point as they approach their hatching date).

This is critical. BG knows many rookies that have suffocated their snakes by not giving them air later in incubation. It's one reason BG likes to keep a couple small holes in his boxes. As long as there is not too much air circulation in your incubator, they won't dry out too fast with a couple small holes. BG recommends this(small holes) for people that are very busy and may forget to give their eggs air. Just make sure they don't dry out. That's almost as bad.
