    Substrateless Incubation
    Hi,

    I've made a few posts recently and I've just about got everything set but there's one more question I wanted to ask the community.

    I'm going with a substrateless incubation method using perlite. I've tested my tubs so they'd be ready for eggs and I think I've got what I'm looking for. The way I have it set up I'm hovering between 89 and 89.1 degrees inside the tub (actual thermostat is set to 90.1). My humidity has held steady at 99.0% for the last 3 days. Is this essentially what I'm looking for? Should I aim for a slightly lower humidity or is anything 90% or more good?

    Thanks!

    You want humidity to be as close to 100% as possible without condensation dripping on your eggs.

    So far 3 days with no condensation. Can't wait for our first clutch!
