    How to stop mold on eggs?
    I looked in on my partners eggs today and found mold growing on them.
    My humidity seems fine at about 95% and there is very little condensation on the tub walls or lid, what could be going on?

    Vermiculite too wet?

    Any suggestions on how to remove and or stop the mold growth would be much appreciated.

    Candle the egg to see if it's fertile. If I remember correctly, fertile eggs usually retard the growth process of mold. Is the mold growing on just that egg?

    The eggs have lots of veins and yes the mold seems to be covering all of the eggs.

    I believe some have used athletes foot powder with success to retard the mold growth, I sure they will chime in.

    Scrape the mold off

    I've seen people use stuff like....

    Desenex powder
    Spray anti-fungal
    Liquid band-aid

    Try cleaning em and hitting em with a quick spray of the anti-fungal

    From my experince also potassium permanganate should help.
