    Is the lid sealed? If you have circulating air, it doesn't matter if the eggs are sitting over an ocean, they can still dry out. Try putting press and seal on top to help maintain humidity inside the tub.

    Now do I need to worry about water dripping from the press and seal. Also would it have helped to put a but of water in a tub down in the bottom?

    Cover the eggs with a paper towel, so if anything drips from the lid it'll protect the eggs.

    They look pretty dry, but your verm looks plenty wet. I don't use press n seal, I just use the 99 cent tubs which have some airflow, but not much. Were your tubs pretty loose fitting?
