Hi John,

I noticed there have been issues with incubating leo eggs in a hovabator due to lack of humidity. Have there been any similiar issues with crested eggs? Are there any special recommendations? I normally use 50/50 perlite vermiculite in deli cups.

Any help would be great!

"SIM" type of incubation generally fail in top heated incubators such as Little Giant, Hovabators, or Reptibators. What happens is the heat element on the lid of the incubator does not build the condensation inside the SIM container as well as bottom heated or air circulated incubators. If you have a top heating incubator, attaching a dampened sponge to the inside lid of the SIM container will activate the condensation when the heat hits the sponge, condensation will then form and the eggs will incubate normally. This has been proven to work with top heated incubators. There is a thread showing this on geckoforums.net where leopard geckos hatched with the sponge on the SIM lid. 

Best regards,

John

S..I.M. orders will resume shipping on Tuesday, 6/29. 

Hey everybody, I'm using the SIM for the first time this season.  Actually, I'm using it for the first time breeding any reptiles at all... this season.  It's going well so far, I have four leo eggs in the cooker, and can't wait to see them pop out.  I'm looking forward to that accelerated hatching I'm reading about.

Hello,

If you've been successful using a perlite or Vermiculite incubation medium mixed with water, continue using this ratio in the S.I.M. If this would be your first time breeding cresteds, get set up with an incubator, and buy your necessities- thermostat, thermometer, substrate. pre-set your SIM container so youre ready for the eggs. Good luck! I'd ask Matt over at Pangea what he uses for his SIM container substrate. 

Just saw your SIM advertised at www.pangea.com. Looks very interesting! I currently breed Crested Geckos, Leopard Geckos, Giant Day Geckos and Corn Snakes. I will purchase one of your containers and give it a try. It seems to beat the old deli cup method for geckos and "other" containers for snakes. Does the your container come with instruction for porper set up? I post pics when I hatch my first Crested Geckos.

Thanks for a new, innovative reptile product!

We here at ReptiPro will be using the SIM for the first time this year. Hoping to see some even more improved hatch rates as well as healthier babies. Thanks for bringing another great product to our industry. Also cannot wait to see if the units fit well inside our Reptile Incubator and make efficient use of the space.

Based on the interior dimensions of the ReptiPro 5000 (Interior Dimensions: 9.5" x 10.5" x  14.5"), 3 S.I.M. Containers fit inside stacked on top of each other. S.I.M. dimensions are 8" long, 6.75" wide, 4.5" high.

I have seen it in person incubating Bearded Dragon eggs recently, will try to get a photo. 

Thanks for the kind words regarding our product, we always mention your incubator to customers looking for a digitally controlled incubator. if you have any questions regarding the incubation process using the S.I.M. just ask. 

Best of luck and happy new year!
