Questions about home made incubator...

I will make some DIY incubator, because I am unable to by one here and I think I will not require nothing more than this for a while...

I will use some stiropor box actually used for transporting fish, and will put some water in and use some good aquarium heater and put some platform(wire) on which will egg containers stay and I will put some digital termometer in so I can see temperature utside, and I am thinking do I need to put some ventilation on the incubator it self or it is better to be tight closed? Another question, about egg containers: do I need to put some holes in the lid of the plastic boxes for eggs to breathe and how many? Do I need to open the incubator or those boxes often and what about humidity in the incubator itself? Some people told me that if there are any holes on the egg boxes that too much moisture will fill the egg boxes, is there any way to prevent this?

I am planing on breeding some leopard morphs, some fat-tails and some P.guttatus, P.pictus and spider geckos(Agamura persica).

Any other input would be great!

Sorry for so long post, this is very important for me...

Thanks in advance!

I'm not an expert, but I would recommend no ventilation for the incubator and I wouldn't put any holes in the egg containers in that type of incubator..
