    So, now I'm setting up this bin for these eggs. Should I have airholes in the tub itself or should I just open the tub once a day to let the air circulate for a few minutes?
    People have said to use plastic wrap, is it ok if I don't use the one side press and stick kind or is the normal kind alright to use as well?

    Thanks for all of your help! I'm getting these eggs, and possibly the babies, though they're just Amel x Normal, we'll see if anything cool pops up if they survive.

    Edit: Forgive me for all the questions and confusion. I've read all of the stuff before 25 times, but this is the first time I'm actually going through the motions!
    No holes. Make it air tight, or close to it, and don't worry about getting fresh air in there. I used to incubate corn eggs in small ziplock sandwich boxes that were air tight, and I'd only open them every 2 weeks or so to check on them. It's the same for leo eggs. I use air tight 6oz plastic bowls, and only open them when I see that they are hatching. Same for BPs. 6 qt, practically air tight boxes that I only open every couple of weeks to see how they are coming along. I've never had any eggs run out of air.
    What are these mojavas I keep hearing so much about?
