Substrateless breeding containers

[Sebastian]

Hi guys,

I´m thinking about giving substrateless incubation a try.
On the homepage of the SIM containers they say you should attach a damp sponge to lid in case you use a top heating incubator. On the G.E.O homepage they don´t give that advice as well as on the site of THG.

So, what are your experiences using those containers with a top heating incubator ? Can you use those containers with no problems ?

Thanks,

Sebastian

How about linking those homepages, Sebastian?

The hobovator requires the sponge to maintain humidity. You may want to contact the GEO person and ask about that. If you have a mini-fridge incubator you won't need anything extra.

I just bought some SIMS containers for both geckos and agamids, it'll be a couple months, but if anyone has any ideas on best practices or any good or bad experiences, I'd love some advice

Helpful hint: You will need to put a lot of water in the substrate below the SIM. You'll know you have enough water when there's condensation on the sides of the SIM at the level of the eggs.
