S.I.M Incubation tubs     We are proud to announce that we are the sole distributor of the S.I.M incubation Container in Australia. 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 dessication.   Eggs incubated in the S.I.M. are surrounded top, bottom and sides by air.   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 is 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.        Each container is 20.32cm L x 17.14cm W x 11.00cm H. We fit 9 carpet python eggs per container with ample air circulation. A larger size is currently being developed.The larger size will have the following dimensions 30.48cm L x 20.32cm W x 15.24cm H.
