    Re: Candling/checking eggs

Also, I've heard of people drilling 2 holes (one on each side of the tub) for air ventilation and some people say don't drill any holes. I'm assuming those of you who aren't opening the tubs at all have a hole or two drilled in the container? I tried that at first but it was drying out the incubation medium rather quickly and wasn't holding humidity very well, so I sealed them up. For my gecko eggs, I just open the container once a week to allow for air exchange.
    There are no hole in my tubs (holes means more moisture will evaporate) and I do not open the tubs for air exchange before the last week, again no need to mess with your egg boxes during incubation even with smaller tubs.

    As far as my tubs I can see inside the tubs just fine without opening them. I am using those http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sterilite-...of-10/20699636 in the 7 quarts version mainly.
