It's quite a good way of maintaining constant temp. Just make sure that any hatchlings definatly can't escape when they get out of the egg!

All sounds spot on to me matey. Good luck during the incubation and keep an eye on condensation and make sure if there is any that it does not drip onto the eggs.

Sounds good to me, that's the method I use and have just hatched some Bulls and Corns with no problems.
