I've used the poly box method and it works fine. We put a medium contico box inside the poly box, with a couple of heat matt's either side connected to a thermostat.. positioning the probe just inside the lid of the contico box. Egg's are on a vermiculite fine grain that is mixed with water.. vermiculite can absorb a lot of water, and the trick is not to get it too wet.. but measure the humidity..
