    Water drops on eggs??

    I just have a pretty simple question for you guys. Is it bad for the condensation build up to drop on top of your eggs?

    From what ive seen on here most will say yes; however, if you watch Kevin's (NERD) video on how he sets up his eggtubs then youll see he does things a little differently lol

    Re: Water drops on eggs??

    My eggs get water droplets on them all the time. They hatch fine. These things aren't made of spun glass people, they're very resisitant to almost everything.

    I would say some water drops are ok. As long as there aren't any puddles or something.

    Here is the video they are talking about:


    Everything I've read says to avoid liquid water dripping on the eggs. If I see water condensing above the eggs to the point where it starts dripping down I take a paper towel and carefully dry the top of the eggs and press n seal above them.

    As long as its not dripping all the time you will be fine. I get drops of water on my eggs sometimes when i move the tub they are in.

    A drop here or there isn't bad. Dripping condensation consistently on your eggs in my experience is bad. If you have water always dripping you should put holes in your tub.
