Does anyone know what they humidity level for leopard gecko eggs should be? I have 2 eggs in my Hova-Bator right know and it looks like there growing some orange mold over them. Its my females first time breeding(2yrs old); 4th clutch this year, none have made it, but this clutch has gone the longest without caving in. Am i doing anything wrong?

Orange? It may be that the eggs "cracked" somewhere. The insides are slowly leaking out and are rotting. I doubt if the eggs are still good but keep them anyways. That's what I have found anyway with my own eggs. The humidity should be somewhere between 70&80%. I keep mine at 70 and they are hatching great now. My first year I had a little trouble but now things are set! How are you incubating them? If they have all been bad maybe knowing a bit about your method will help determine what is going wrong.

The eggs are incubated at 88F(want males). Im not sure about the humidity level, the deli-cup that they are in doesn't seem to have any water drops on it. the Medium is vermiculite and is moist at all times.
anything else you need to know just ask.
BTW, how many babies hatched during your females first year?
