S.I.M. incubation.

Ok, understood.
So your original post was just an infomercial for your new product.
How does this differ from the light diffuser grating that myself and other ball breeders have been using for well over a decade now?

The product has been out for 4 seasons. Also, as Wayne pointed out, it is indeed a world wide product. We have distibuters in Canada, Europe, Australia, Asia, Africa, and here in the US. It is also being used by Zoos world wide and has been used in some very important captive breeding programs.

How does it differ from a light diffuser? A few ways.
The most obvious, it looks much more professional. It is cleaner and neater looking. The body and lid are also see through. No need to open lids to check on eggs.

The next difference is the fully adjustable rail system that keeps eggs in place. Eggs will not roll around or move even if the incubator is bumped into or if the container shifts.

The holes in the grid are only 5mm. This means that hatchling of even some of the smallest species can not get down into the substrate. This is especially imortant for those who use just water or for people who just dont want to dig around the container for hatchlings.

The grid is also actually suspended over the substrate. This eliminates the wicking effect that happens with light diffuser.

Another difference is, it is ready to use. No mods needed, no cutting plastic. Add substrate, adjust rails to the size of the eggs and its ready to go in your incubator.

It is also made of high quality plastics. The main body is made of polycarbonate that is 2mm thick and the lid is made of TPU that is also 2mm thick. It is a super strong product made to last you your entire breeding career. The thickness in the material and the material itself also helps to retain heat. So when the incubator is open even for several minutes, the temperature inside the container does not drop.

We also make the product in high quality polypropylene as well.

I would say it is a nice improvement over the light diffuser in both looks and function.

Here is our S.I.M. XL for ball/blood/carpet pythons and larger reptile eggs.




And this is our standard S.I.M.


A lot nicer looking than a Glad container and light diffuser, dont you think?
