I noticed my older leo eggs are growing a lot. The biggest one was hatched on April 15th (my first clutch). The temperature is 81*F, the humidity is only 50% though cuz for some reason I can't get it higher (maybe my hygrometer is broken?). I use a vermiculite laying medium in a hovabator and the vermiculite is moist and in tupperware containers. Is the growing eggs a good sign or a bad sign? This is my first year breeding and I'm hoping my first eggs will hatch in the next few days.

It's normal for the eggs to get bigger as they get close to hatching :) I assume that you probably mean that your biggest one was LAID on april 15th, and not hatched on april 15th? At 81F, you're probably looking at somewhere in between 60-90 days for a incubation period... My eggs were at 85, and hatched out at 63 days... Good luck!
