Oh but one question about using the incubator, its a ZooMed Reptibator and ive been reading about incubation and EVERYTHING ive read talks about what substrate to use and i was curious, is the subatrate basically only used to keep the humidity up and not allow them to dry out? The repribator is made so u can put water in the bottom then a foam insert goes on top of that so it stays nice and humid in there already. Right now i have them in a plastic tub with no substrate and that tub is sitting on the foam. Do i absolutely NEED substrate still or is it fine with this setup since its nice and humid in there?

Congrats on the clutch and also bagging the incubator. That Zoo med product is a very good product. You have to be very careful by moving the eggs around too frequently. It would be good to have a light diffuser on top of any material substrate as to keep the eggs "substrateless". Only if it's really doable at this point. Keep the eggs in the tub but don't let them get wet or change the orientation too much. Try to make sure there are no holes in the tub and that the eggs won't roll inside the tub. Good luck.
