Lol...me too! Checked the thermostat a zillion times a day. I'm much calmer with this second clutch, but I still sneak a peek through the glass at least once a day.

Me too. I have a glass door incubator so I dont need to open it much. Near the end I may remove press n seal and put on a glass lid so I can see the pips clearer. I dont even cut my eggs, I just leave them alone until they pip, I have enough animals and plants to take care of.
I also tape my press n seal down because my fan has loosened it up at times drying out the mix a bit. In that case I may spray a little water on vermiculite but never directly on eggs.

Re: What's your maintenance schedule for eggs in the 'bator?
I dont know for being my first clutch I think I am doing pretty well. I check on them maybe every other day if that. I have noticed when I check on them more often time seems to slow down. My whole method of set it and forget it seems to be working much better. Heck I have to check on a calender to see what day it is. day 22 or 23 i think lol.

You could probably cut them now if you want to see them just don't take them out of the egg?
