    I've heard of tubs with a hole in the lid with vermiculite in it. It all depends on whether you let the lady incubate her own or want to be able to remove the eggs for artificial incubation. Me if I ever breed I'm going to let her try and incubate them. You just have to keep the temp and humidity right in the egg box then. I also like the reptishelter 3 in 1 cave. You can do moist hide or egg box in container and of she turns out to be a flaky mom remove it and place them in an incubator.

    Best is that works for YOU.

    There are many ways to do things successfully.

    I prefer the substrateless method, I have great success with it and this is what works best for me.

    Egg box setup depends on what type of substrate you use. I keep it as simple as possible. A Rubbermaid container with a single slit to run the thermostat probe wires. No other holes and no plastic wrap. I use a couple inches of Hatchrite as substrate. Check once a week to clear condensation from the lid.
