What is that thing? It looks like it should be crawling across a movie screen.

There's a great forum devoted to fig growing, started by Jon (pitangadiego (http://www.bananas.org/member-pitangadiego.html)). There are several good threads there about rooting fig cuttings. Many people here are also members there:

A while back I saw a farming segment on PBS with a fig grower in Georgia. He used bottomless 2 liter drink bottles (with the screw tops on them) covering the cuttings acting as a mini green house to keep the cuttings from dehydrating.

I used this method on loquat cuttings with some rooting hormone on the stem and after nearly a month all of the cuttings still have green leaves and have new growth erupting from the terminal ends and sides.

Fig is one of the easier things to root
at least in my experience, ive failed at several other species
but figs seem to root easy for me.
i just put them in a small container with soil that drains very well
(usually high in perlite)
and put a ziplock baggie over the top
you can close the ziplock as far as possible
containing most of the moisture.
