Do you know if this method would work with corn snake eggs?

What style/brand of boxes are you using? If you have a photo of one, lid included, that would be appreciated, as an example for the thread, as well, and I say this because thereā€™s actually quite a few 6qt ā€œshoe boxā€ storage containers out there, but aside from some of the examples in this thread, thereā€™s also a type with a lid that just snaps on without latches, and Iā€™ve noticed I canā€™t gain over 65% humidity in a box like that without press and seal.

I used one of the snap on lid shoe box style containers for mine without press and seal. Humidity in both the box and incubator stayed at 99% the entire time

Thatā€™s not a fridge! Thatā€™s a highly sophisticated snake egg incubation chamber. Itā€™s in my lab in my basement lol :upside_down_face:

I will put one air hole personally. (I use to put more in other snakes egg boxes without a problem.)
The only caveat is, The humidity Must be kept sufficient. (the water and fish tank heater should do that)
I prefer a bit of Co2/oxygen balance that a bit of air flow can create.

Do u have a fan in your incubator and if so what size and where is it located? And where do you put your thermostat probe? Iā€™m asking because Iā€™m building a incubator of this exact size u have. Also is your heat tape on the back wall and on the floor/bottom of cooler or just on the back wall?

I do yes at the back by the vent. 80mm cpu fan.

Back wall and floor

If you look between the two egg boxā€™s on the grate you can see the probe.

Okay so you donā€™t put your thermostat probe in a dumby hatch box with no eggs? I ask because Iā€™ve seen people say to make a false egg box and put thermostat probe in that

57

No I do not since my incubator only holds 6 tubs I donā€™t use a dummy tub.
