I already had another thread about other questions. Things like temperature dropping for breeding, egg temp fluctuations, rolling the eggs, etc...I'm by no means stating that it is not a necessary step in things to sanitize the scissors. I just haven't really seen it mentioned.

Some people use the same substrate year after year. Some don't. How well do they try to sanitize it? How do they sanitize it?

If sanitizing is such an issue with eggs, why can you leave a dead egg in the incubator, stuck to a good egg? It rots, stinks, and grows all kinds of bacteria and mold. Yet it still doesn't harm the good egg. It then doesn't really make sense that sanitizing is as big of an issue as some might think. Obviously we want to be as careful with babies as possible. Again, I'm not saying not to do it. I'm just wondering its necessity.

Some people swear by using press-n-seal on the egg tub. Others absolutely don't.

Some say you can't have a temp swing larger than 3 deg. on the eggs. What if they swing more, but the swing is more gradual? Is it a condensation issue? If a temperature swing is not quick, then condensation doesn't really happen... Obviously, nobody has done enough experimenting to know the answers on these things. I'm just a curious guy...

Do you sanitize the paper towels that you put the babies on?

Another one is that some have told me to keep the babies in the incubator until they shed--like baby chicks, they think they need to be warmer than a normal snake. But I see RDR and JKR not doing so. They put them in the baby racks where the temp is 80. Not incubator temp of 90...

Like I said, I just have a lot of questions.
