For my corn snake eggs i am using the following containers.A deli container with measurments of 9 and a half inches round 3" deep holding 9 eggs with room for more if it was needed.In the same hovabator i also have a 7" round deli container 3" deep with 14 eggs all in one clump.I also have a sterilite container that could also be used in a hovabator its 8" wide 13" long and 4 and a half inches deep.The only problem i had was finding the containers with the perfect height and length and for this i used a ruler at walmart to make sure the containers were what size i really needed.
