    I have a 340g 08 normal female and when she is of size age and weight I would like to possibly pick up a male Spider to mate her with and I just want to make sure I do everything correct!

    Yes, that would be fine. Just make sure to pay attention to the paper towel wetness.

    Nope. As long as you burp the tub maybe once a week, you'll be fine.

    OK.. To add to that for even more safety, I would set the box tilted so if there are condensations wanting to drip, they would all slide to one side where the eggs aren't placed before they ever get a chance to drip..

    Re: How to set up an egg tub

    OK. So with this process all done with eggs inside, plastic wrap on top, and lid closed, all I need to do is put heat tape on the box for heat and wait for eggs to hatch right? So I don't need to make or buy an incubator right???

    Don't tip the eggs unless you want them to die. They need to be level and in a consistant environment, as they have an air bubble in the egg that if it moves or ruptures, will kill the embryo.

    You can't incubate eggs just in an incubator alone. You need humidity and stable substrate as well, which is why we have this thread right here..... THEN you put it in the incubator...that is running at 89 degrees or so evenly.
