NS question

[goReptiles]

Do you guys use deli cups of tubs in your nature's spirit incubators?

I'm just trying to figure out the best method of converting to a NS from hovabators. I like to keep the eggs individual, but I can see where that could pose a problem, unless all older eggs were removed to place new eggs in the back, and rotate them as eggs either hatch or go bad.

How do you guys do it?

I just recently switched from using the hovabator to an NS incubator. I've been putting my eggs in Sterilite ultraseal containers. I like them a lot. They have a little tab on top that covers a small air hole. You can pop it open to circulate air in the container without removing the lid, so it's perfect for incubating with Albey's method, for example. Around here I've been buying them at Target.

As you can see, the ultraseal containers have a large clear tab on each side of the lid that snaps down. Just make sure you hold the container still while you carefully open or close each tab, as they can cause the medium inside to "pop" and your eggs can possibly get moved. They're solid containers though, the best I've used yet. They come in different sizes, so you could use the small ones for individual eggs if you can find them at your store.

That's interesting; I may have to check those out....

I'm still interested in whether you guys put older ones in the front and new eggs in the back, and just rotate out as eggs hatch or go bad? Would this be the easiest method?
