To the OP,
When you set up your eggs using the burried or half burried method, the eggs should be put into perlite with a 1 to .8 in a container with an air tight lid. Add 2 to 4 small holes in the lid to keep the pressure the same between the incubation container and outside environment. With kings and corns, I do not even bother putting them in the incubator. The snake room is between 79 and 82 degrees and I use my SIM containers and all eggs that are fertile hatch out. The eggs should not be denting at all during incubation until they are about to hatch. There should never be a need to mist or add water at any point during incubation. If you need to, your set up is very wrong and your eggs will more than likely die during incubation.

I don't have access to perlite or vermeculite (sp?). I don't know what "SIM containers" are. I don't have a snake room - I simply have MY room, and the temperature fluxes quite a lot from low seventies to low eighties depending on what part of the day I wake up in and then get the air cooler on.
So, thank you for telling me that my set up is "very wrong" - I watched a lot of YouTube videos and everyone does their set ups just a little bit differently. So, if you have any advice on how to improve mine to give my eggs the best chance, working with the materials I have... THAT would be nice.
