    Humidity on BP eggs

    I'm shooting for two ball clutches next year and I have a question about the incubation. The incubator I have at the moment has been used for our chondros, so it's a very high humidity setup. Will near 100% humidity be too high for ball eggs?

    I've read in a few places that kinks and other deformities have possibly been linked to high incubation humidity in corns, but I haven't seen this in any of the ball articles I've read.

    Along the same lines, how sensitive are ball eggs to stray water drops during incubation? Again, I'm used to chondro eggs where if you get a drop of water on them, they die...

    I believe the closest you can get the incubator at 95 to 100% the better. Hence why a lot of people use glass doors so they don't have to open it and lose precious heat and humidity.
