How awesome is that? Albino carpets are being cooked on a SIMS!

its really weird but when i had switched my eggs from the deli cup method i was using to the SIM, the color of the eggs has been improving and they look ALOT better. they were very dark in color, not moldy or smelly but just dark. since i got my SIM and switched them they've lightened up alot and are looking much much healthier.

Hi Greg, Glad to see my pics made it onto an international forum.
Here are a few more.

And some albino and het for albino carpets hatching. Busy, busy, busy! I got those thermometers from the bean farm, they are manufactured by cooper.

Regards
Nicole

The diffuser costs about $10 for a 2x3 foot piece at Home Depot. Looks different but uses the exact same principle (almost 100% humidity without the eggs actually touching anything wet).

Obviously my setup won't work for gecko eggs because they're not adhered in a clump like snake eggs...if you're doing geckos, you need the rails on the SIM product to hold them in place.

While their product may be new, I wouldn't hesitate for a minute. This method time tested and works like a charm. As far as I'm concerned, it's the easiest incubation method around...and it's very cool someone figured out a way to adopt it to work for smaller individual eggs.

very nice idea.

How many leo eggs can u fit in one s.i.m container? Also is it just the one layer to a s.i.m container or can you buy something to stack on top of the first rows

I am a very small hobbiest... in fact, this is my first season. I am using a SIM to incubate my leopard gecko eggs. So far, I have hatched out six robust hatchlings. None were born with unabsorbed yolk sac.

The weights upon hatching were as follow:
TAE01: 3.3g
TAE02: 3.5g
TAE03: 3.5g
TA04: 3.5g
Tang01: 4g
Tang-2: 3.9g

I used an MR-148 incubator from LLLReptile and I incubated TAE01 - TA04 at 83F with no issues. I initially had an issue with my eggs denting but quickly found that it was a case of the lid not sealing fully, which was easily remedied. It has been smooth sailing since then

. I have to say that I LOVE my SIM

Roger, here is a picture of my SIM and my current eggs, if that helps give you an idea.

(Little bit of perlite snuck through the grid, I had it filled kind of full

)
