Laura,
that is what I did..I just floated them. The temperature of the water kept
them nice and warm....you would have to be careful about ventilation though
I would think. Don't want the eggs to get moldy. I just left the top of the
tank uncovered. If you try it, let me know how you do. As I said before, I
think that is what I will do this spring and see how it turns out. I did it
with the skink eggs and they did fine. :-)
