Hi!
I have read back over posts to look for suggestions and I am using most of them but my egg humidity is still low.
I am using a Sterilite shoebox. Incubation them in reptile room, night temps no lower than 75, day temps around 78-83.
2-4 inches of vermeculite. usually one drip comes out of a handful sqeezed. All eggs mostly 3/4 covered.
I have a full water dish IN the box, as well as a damp paper towel loosely over the eggs.
I am NOT opening the lid any more than needed to check humidity (which would be twice now over a few days) but even so I am switching to a piece of glass so I wont have to open it at all.
But my humidity is still only 80%....17 of the eggs have no dents. But two of them have a few dents. Any suggestions? Is this sufficent?
Thanks guys
Marisa
