How much intervention do these eggs need?

YEP! The condensation on the inside of the tub is more telling than what the hygrometer reads. I remember distinctly that is what Corey Delong said also. Just monitor your eggs visually now, that will help alot. Dont open the incubator at all for the next two weeks at least. Especially if you continue to see condensation on the inner tubs. :gj:

Done and done!

I did a quick search for reviews on the combometer I have and whaddya know? Some people are saying it has issues reading humidty accurately. I'm thinking it's caused me a lot of unnecessary anxiety. :mad: Things may have been too dry initially, but not now. Phew.

Side note: I feel like this thread has turned into a support group for anxious/impatient breeders. "Hi, my name is Katherine and it's been two days since I last checked my egg tub.:rolleye2:" Lol

Update: I checked the eggs tonight. 34 days left to go. They haven't plumped up, but they haven't gotten worse and their colour is fine, candling with healthy veins. I even caught one baby wiggling around in there!:D

Watch this video, I've used this method for about 20 years now, works every time.

Day 31. Ummm cause for concern? They seem to have dimpled quite a bit since this picture and even last week. Still candling with veins and the embryos are moving. Vermiculite and moss are drenched, box is sealed, and there is some condensation. Should I try damp moss directly on the eggs or leave them alone?

Do you have a fan going in the incubator? Mine looked like that at day 10 and turning off the fan fixed it.

You DO NOT want the eggs wet.

No fan, it's just a little Reptibator. Did yours recover?

They're on a panel and nothing wet is touching them. I read putting lightly damp moss on them helps, but the idea makes me nervous. Should I not then?
