Ok you really need a digital with a probe.

I can't seem to add a pic. It's a styrafome incubator. The bottom has a small water area. Then I have the eggs in a glass baking dish with the water/vermiculite mix. There is a heating element at the top where I can see the eggs through plastic windows. If I plug the holes in the bottom, I can fill with more water or vermiculite mix and lower the eggs away from the heating element but changing all this now will rapidly fluxuate the temp till I can stabilize it again. i could use water at 88 degrees, that would help I guess...suggestions?

Havin a little trouble with messages here. Is anyone available via Facebook messenger I can send pics or walk me through changing my set up safely this morning?

The eggs need to be enclosed inside of a plastic container with a damp substrate in order to maintain high enough humidity. Here is a link to a thread showing how to set up the egg box.

In addition to this, a lot of us will also place some plastic egg crate on top of the medium to make sure that the eggs stay out of any standing water.

If its for chicken eggs then the coil is probably too close.
You might be better building a quick down and dirt with a cheap styrofoam ice chest, a light buld and a dimmer.
