Have you tried a poly box, heatmat method?
What is it for.
I am going to use that method but I havent bred before.
I hear they work well though.

I use a polystyrene box obtained from my local tropical fish shop, I have made a platform and about a third filled it with water. The platform is made from plastic in the water and a wood frame with a very fine mesh on it above the water line. In the water I have an aquarium combined heater/stat and a thermometer if you use a glass one you can stick it through the side of the box so you can read the temp without opening the box. On the platform I have my boxes with damp vermiculite in them. Set the temp to what you need and put the lid on, it works for me.
