    Yes I have.

    Ambient humidity was around 60%, and she used it well.

    Papertowels on the tub floor, water dish full of water, and that was it.

    I have heard, yet did not see, that if the humidity is too low, they will urinate in the coils to keep the humidity up.

    Well....I checked on them this morning and I am not too confident now. They are starting to brown and look spottier. I snapped a quick pic.

    I'm not speaking from any personal experience...however, I've heard LOTS of stories about really ugly eggs hatching out perfectly healthy babies. Just continue to keep the temps and humidity in line and don't give up on them. :)

    I've hatched eggs that looked like that before. As long as they stay plump and firm and don't start to rot they should do fine.

    As ugly as they are, they look "fine"

    I wouldn't be suprised if they went full term. :)

    Keep us updated!!!
