After a really upsetting call from an important Asian customer who couldn't understand what was going on, (huge language barrier), who instead of placing an order said he will have to think some more ..I decided to make this post publicly to set the record straight. Since this confusion may have just cost me a customer and order. After having two surgeries and being out of work for the last two months..I could of use the funds!!

Please stop using my name to sell your products.
I have never used them or seen them I certainly wouldn't promote something I know nothing about.
My methods of incubating hognose are almost perfect in my book and I am proud of that fact. It took many years to get it right. I dont need you confusing people especially my customers.
Here's the only email I have related to that subject..
Gregg Madden seems to be his partner from what he says in the email.

Subject: Het albino anacondas...
Hey Justin,
Hope all is well...
What can you do for a good sized group of het albino condas??? I was talking with my partner (you met him in China and he said you were a cool dude) and we want to go full bore with the hognose projects... How many het albino condas can you sell us and at what price???
Also, when are you going to start using our SIM containers bro... LOL...
If you want, I can send you one for free to try out... If you use it and take pics of hog hatching on it, they will go up on our site with a link to your website...
Thanks

Excerpt from the site:
Introducing the SIM Incubation Container by Squamata Concepts.
When it comes to the precious eggs hatching, it keeps everyone on the edge of their seats.
With names like Ray Gurgui (thunderbayherps.com), Justin Mitcham (extremehogs.com) and Mark Orfus (northerngecko.ca) having personally used and trusting this product. The Lizard's Lounge finds this to be an indispensible tool for its future projects. We would also like to share this opportunity and to learn together with local reptile keepers on the effectiveness of this relatively simple tool to incubate eggs in Malaysia.
WHAT IS THE S.I.M? (content courtesy of SquamataConcepts.com)
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. All neonates hatched fully developed without egg yolks.
The triangular bars that you see on top of the grid are the eggs stabilizer bars. The function of these bars is to keep eggs from rolling or being uprooted by clutch mates and they are fully adjustable to fit just about any egg size. The S.I.M. incubation containers are crystal clear.This so the eggs can be visually monitored without having to guess. The grid is designed to keep hatchlings from entering the substrate chamber.
For keepers who incubate over water, this feature ensures hatchlings are safe.The lid is soft TPU that fits the container base without being difficult to remove and upset the contents. We suggest venting the lid by adding a few small holes to avoid an air tight situation.
DIMENSIONS
Each S.I.M. Container is 8" L x 6.75" W x 4.5" H.

Who said that? What is so awfully wrong with the container that association with it will ruin your rep to the point of losing sales? What exactly is the association between Greg Maddon, Lounge Lizard, the guy in Asia who didn't buy anything from you, and the mysterious rep-ruining container?
