Hi All -- I have a quick question I am hoping I can get some feedback on. I finally had my first clutch over the past weekend and am wondering if it is 100% necessary to cover the tub with cling wrap or put a lid on it?

The eggs look absolutely perfect and we put them in a vermiculite mix, but have not covered the tub since we have just monitored the humidity and temp very closely. The tub the eggs is pretty big so it gets pretty close to the heating element.

I put a separate thermometer/humidity gauge in the tub next to the eggs to monitor the temp/humidity at the egg level opposed to relying on the reptibator's since that one is right next to the heat source.

We've kept the temp at 90 degrees and the humidity in the box has been at 90%. From what I've been reading I need to increase the humidity to 95-100% and I guess the best way to do this would be to cover the tub.

Should we just put cling wrap on the tub without any holes in the wrap or tubs? I'm guessing as long as we open it every few days to give airflow we would be okay.

At day 5 we noticed a very slight dimple in one of the eggs, but the egg is perfectly white. Do the eggs just dimple slightly throughout their cycle?

Thanks for all the help in advance! I just want to make sure we get this right!
