Those incubators are ruddy genious!

I must have a dozen of those polly boxes in the shed from years of marine fish keeping (fish & corals come in those boxes).

Does it make any difference how deep the eggs are in the vermiculite at all?
Is there any way to ensure most of your hatchlings are male or female by altering the depth, temp, humidity in the boxes at all?

Iv bred fish and there are LOTS of things you can do to ensure a primarily male/female batch.

Sorry to go a little off topic but it would be useful to know if anyone has tried it

Thanks for the info, I made the poly box one but with a little variation. I got the poly box and cut a round hole in the top so that a bulb holder can fit, with an infra red bulb for heating, connected to a dimmer stat. I also cut some triangular holes in the sides of the poly box and stuck perspex in with aquarium sealant for windows. So far it has worked perfectly, the temperature hasn't changed at all, not even 0.1 of a degree! I'll be using it for my crestie eggs that I should have soon from one of my gravid females. Hopefully it will hatch them out ok!

Just get yourself down to the local tip, ours has a container just for fridges, and I'm sure they wouldn't mind you pinching one!
