Excellent question. This has been considered, discussed and debated many times. The short answer is: Because we've always done it that way and it works.If a Sulcata buries her eggs nearly a foot deep in moist sandy Florida soil...why do eggs in incubators only be covered about half way?

Other people have tried doing it other ways like completely buried in dirt or vermiculite, resting on top of the media, on a plastic grate with no media, all the eggs clustered together like they are in the nest, and many more. All of them work.
