Was wondering what size tubs people use to hold their eggs in the incubator…. Will be buying a polystyrene box soon so would like to know roughly the size of boxes people you.
Thanks

A tub around the size of a medium contico would be fine, or even a small
would probably be ok |

don't be buying a poly box mate, go to a tropical fish shop, they will give you one for free, it saves them having to dispose of them.

Those are just the job, plus the clear plastic food containers - about 10 inches square, 7 inches deep. When you have even 20 plus clutches, you need to have a room to incubate them in if you use polly boxes..
We have a large, upright freezer converted into an incubator and eight, thermostatically controlled, electrically heated propagators with false, 14swg mesh floors that take two tubs in each.
