Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

S.I.M. Egg Incubation Containers (Zero Contact with Substrate)
S.I.M. Egg Containers are here!
The S.I.M. stands for Suspension Incubation Method relating to how the eggs are incubated on a grid off the substrate. This prohibits direct contact with a wet substrate and allows approximately 100% gas exchange between the container environment and the egg membrane. Eggs incubated buried in dampened substrate are subjected to excess water which often results
in drowned egg(s). Also in contrast to this, too little water or humidity results in egg desiccation. Eggs incubated in the S.I.M. are surrounded top, bottom and sides by air. The steady humidity and (possibly) better Oxygen absorption in these containers allows neonates to develop faster resulting in shortened incubation times. Clutches incubated in this container have all hatched earlier than when buried in Perlite at same temperature.
Size of container is 8"L x 6.75" W x 4.5"H. Made from Polycarbonate and made to last, no junk here!
Fantastic results using this product to hatch Leopard geckos, Cresteds, Dwarf Monitors, Beardies, kingsnakes, smaller pythons, aquatic turtles and more. Makes incubating easy since there's no measuring, no mixing! Great for first time breeders and professionals!
$24.99 each shipping separate. Deals on 5 or more SIM containers available.
Thanks
John and Gregg

Hello everybody, Free bump for this guy. This container is the greatest invention to lizard and small snake breeders round the world. The suspension method is a great mold inhibitor, by keeping fresh air all around the eggs it reduces mold drastically.
I also love being able to look in the container (which is clear as glass) and see all around my eggs which you cant do when their buried. I can see any of 90% of the egg to see any denting or unusual looking problems or developments. I have a glass door on my incubator and can see right into the container through the door. I dont even have to open my incubator to see if any are hatching.
These containers are also beginner friendly by suspending the eggs it keeps them out of the substrate thus reducing over saturation of the eggs. I have been having a 99% hatch ratio with these and even better considering 100% of my eggs that make it past the halfway mark hatch.
I posted some pictures of bearded dragons and pilbara rock monitors incubated and hatched in these containers. Take a look at the clean eggs and how neat and orderly they are. Also think about this the hatching babies cant kick the eggs around and turn them upside down like when they are loose in substrate. enjoy pics all.
1st pic sim with dragons hatching and lid on, sorry about the glare with the lid on its so clear it lights up with a flash just like a taking a picture through glass with flash
2nd pic dragons hatched in sim with lid off ( Animals were incubated with lids on pics are to show how clean eggs are, Never incubate with a lid off unless your type of eggs call for it!!!!! )
3rd pic Pilbara rock monitor eggs
4th pic Pilbara baby hatched in sim container

Ronald, your post is very informative but probably better suited for the Consumer Reports forum (your info will reach more people that way). I recommend that you re-post your comments as a thread in that forum...
