    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

For Sale S.I.M. Egg Incubation Containers (Zero Contact with Substrate)

Oh I cant wait for the bigger ones! I get excited everytime I see this thread highlighted when I log in! The theory behind this is very sound, IMO. And it sounds like its doing great. I ant wait to give a try on some ball eggs!

You can add Varanus Gouldii Flavirufus to the list x3
 
Can you explain how it is we don't need to mix the substrate? How to we add water and ect. Details on this please?
Thanx,
Steven
 
There's a number of substrates used that work well in the SIM... all require water but most do not require weighing or measuring. A few examples: water crystals (jelly), damp cellulose sponge, water only, drenched and drained perlite, vermiculite, commercial brand Hatch Rite.
 
Oh I see so it boils them in a sense but of course not litterally. lol can you post a pic of them at a side view with or with out eggs I want to see how the tray sits in and ect.
Thanx,
Steven
 
Do you have an idea on pricing on the larger ones. I'm interested in trying beaded lizaed eggs in these. Any idea on how many beaded lizard eggs one of your large models would hold. Is there detailed info available on water substrate mix or is it just as you would normally?
 
Hi Timothy,

Substrate mix- 1.1 perlite to water by weight works well, as does a few other methods mentioned above. The grid size is larger than a sterilite shoebox, 8" x 12" plus the grid to lid height is taller to handle clumped or larger reptile eggs... Ball pythons, sulcatas, lg monitor eggs.
 
How many leo eggs with one hold and how many can fit in the Reptipro 5000 incubator? I am looking to get this to compare to the flimsy made G.E.O.'s and probably replace them.
Thanks!
 
Hi Candace,

Up to 50 eggs can fit within a SIM container. 2 SIM can fit inside a Reptipro 5000.

If you order I will throw in a few more rails to create more egg rows.

Coming in Summertime, we have the SIM Wall- a cool divider that pegs into the grid, from ceiling to floor in order to separate your clutches from one another.

SIM XL due to arrive in May sometime... I will air these in.. for the python peeps.

Cheers

John
 
John also let me know when these are ready and where I can place an order for 3-5 of the XL ons with walls. How much would they be?
 
We've used a similar product in the past for our tree monitors and I can say it makes a huge difference. The most common problem with tree monitor eggs is the hatchling drowning during the final phase of incubation. If you want success with tree monitors then this is definately a product worth purchasing.
