Good Idea Or Bad Idea 
I made a very large incubator because I’m expecting alotta eggs. It’s a big cooler with a water dish for humidity and heat rock/pad to keep it warm. There is a suspended rack with two large rubbermaid containers filled with perlite. I let it sit for a while and it seems to work very well, it’s very warm and humid inside and there is a lot of room. Think this will work for 60 days?

do you have a digital thermometer to measure the temp? make sure it is maintaining a temp between 82-86 degrees. I would measure it in different areas of the bins to make sure.
I have never used one but have read on here of some people that have had success with it.
I personally would opt to use either a hovabator or a more ruggedly homebuilt incubator, but that is me. As i see it, i am investing 60+ days of my time caring for those eggs (as well as the adults) I am going to afford them every chance of success. the $40 it cost for a incubator is worth it. Good luck!Jorge

Those lil incubators can’t handle the amount of eggs my females will lay, I can’t afford a bunch of lil ones right now. I’m eventuallt just gonna buy a big refridgerator style one. but not now.

i am not sure depends how many you can fit inside a sandwich container
it fits four containers. but i figure a clutch to each container more or less and by the time the fifth clutch comes the first will have hatched..
