I found when incubating Coleonyx eggs too much moisture ruined the eggs.. how is it with no holes u managed to keep a steady humidity without overdoing it?

I incubated my C.v.b. eggs along with my leopard geckos and AFT eggs in a sealed container with no airholes and perlite. I had a higher hatch rate with my leos, but did hatch 13 coleonyx. This season I will be incubating in a substrateless container and we'll see how that goes.

well I have hatched out leo,AFT,frilled dragons,beardeds,bandeds,N levis,N amyae,N Milii,frog eye geckos, day geckos,uro's and chameleons all with the same incubation tech. over the years the only thing i change is temp for certain things and have had at least a 95% hatch rate.

Wow so u did not have air holes but did ocasionally oper for air exchange. What do u use? Hovabator with a small rubbermade box inside with perlite in it?

No I use a home made incubator full size glass door cooler made into a incubator. Then i use deli containers half filled with vermiculite or sometime the rubbermaid containers

If you want to seepics of my incubator pm me and i will send you a couple pics.
