    88 to 90 degrees is the common temps to incubate at.

    I use 7qt locking sterlite tubs..

    I don't cover my tubs with plastic I allow them to breath.
    I use the substrateless method with light diffuser panel and soaking wet vermiculite under that.

    I used from 88-90 degrees for the last clutch. I also used hatchrite with glad press n' seal on the top of the tubs.

    Everything went great. I added a little water around the edges towards the end but other than that it was completely hassle free. No problems with the press n' seal, it helped me keep the tub at 99% humility during the entire incubation.
