I love the way you did the incubation, I assume (32oz deli cup + dixe cup of water + play sand = perfect incubation chamber), what sort of method if any did you use for air exchange and temperature regulation?

Very very cool.

Ok, what I used was a 32 oz. deli cup, filled with an inch and a half of sand roughly, and a 3 oz plastic cup (at the store they are labelled "bathroom cups") in which I put some wet loose sphagnum moss- emphasis on loose. If there is any water in the cup at all the moss wicks it up and has more surface to evaporate from, so the humidity is higher. I place the eggs on a slight indent in the sand and wait. The 32 oz deli cup has a paper-filter lid, and that whole thing goes into my incubator (in this case a Hovabator for chicken eggs) and is set to the desired temp. I have a number of lizard and gecko eggs in there on HatchRite or on sand with this method. Works very well for me.
