Incubation Containers

[giambi4343]

hello,
i am new to breeding ball pythons and i cant seem to find a "good" incubation container. i could use a tupperware container but my only problem is that i do not have much room in my hovabator incubator. they are pretty small incubators and i am trying to find a container that is not too big (to take up the entire hova bator) and not too small ( no room for the eggs) let me know if you have any suggestons or what you personally use. thank you

I like salad containers, the throw away ones. The thin plastic is easy to punch holes in with a leather punch and I also use them for moist hides.

another question.... i was thinking about using thr deli containers, but i cant decide of i should get them with holes or not.... i am incubating ball python eggs and i have read some sites that have the container with and some without airholes... not sure what to do. also, i dont know if the deli cups will be deep enough for a stack of ball python eggs. i was thinking about goin to target or wal mart and get tight fitting sterilite containers????? what you guys think?? thank you

ball python eggs are big so youre going to need big egg containers. if the size of container wont fit inside your incubator then youll need a bigger incubator. its best to accommodate for the eggs and not for the space that you may or may not have. crowding a clutch of eggs in a small egg box can easily lead to problems.

if youre incubating a single clutch in a hovabator then i would suggest finding the biggest egg container that will fit inside.
