Drill small holes all around the base to ensure good air circulation. Then, install your heat source ( preferably a low-wattage light bulb ) attached to the side of the base. The aluminum will help reflect the heat and distribute it more evenly.
Place a thermometer in the center to monitor the temperature, which should remain between 37.5°C and 38°C . Add a small bowl of water to create adequate humidity ( 50-55% for the first 18 days, then 65-70% for hatching ).
