The raft is plastic craft canvas siliconed to strips of styrofoam. You could silicone on some suction cups to keep it in place and use it in tank. This wasn't a clutch laid here and I didn't want the babies in my main tank yet so I floated it in a plastic tupperware type container. I set that on my light strip for warmth. The clutches need to stay in a very humid environment, but not sitting IN water or they will rot. It worked great for me. Hatch time was about 13 days at about 75*. I stopped counting babies when I got over 100 LOL!
Some people use new soap dishes with suction cups in the tank and others leave them where they are laid. I'm a complete control freak though so I will probably do most of my hatching in a hatchery where I can move the babies to a small grow out tank and then to a larger rubbermaid tote for growing to selling/rehoming size.
Yeah, they are pretty icky looking. Hubby thought I was floating cat poo. He also thought I was a certifiable weirdo for it. He was quite relieved when I told him it was snail eggs
