Hi Everyone...Well my first year breeding looks like it will yield 2-3 clutches so I am really excited. Based on all I have read I have decided I am going to go with the none substrate method and have a question.

First my setup...I have a home made incubator (I got from another breeder) 2' tall by 3' wide (sealed wood box) with 11" flexwatt wrapped up both sides and the bottom hooked to a Helix. A small fan at the bottom can be set to slowly keep the air moving)

My question is about setting up the actual egg boxes. I cannot figure out how deep they need to be. First how deep does the perlite need to be? Then I assume the plastic grid sits right on top of it (perhaps a pvc support under?) and the eggs on top of that? As I don't have the plastic tubs yet I need to know how big to buy. The box has 2 shelves which look to be about 6-7" tall so I will have to modify the box if the egg boxes need to be taller.

Thanks in advance for all your help.
