Thank you 👍.

Sorry for asking. I was just nervous. Humidity is 96%. Temps are fine.

I could get the egg crate and put the eggs on that and add more water to get humidity at 100%. Think that's a good idea?

I would leave it as is for now, for sure. Seems like lots of people report eggs sinking in a little the first week and then no further issues for the rest of the incubation period...not sure why. :confusd:

Anyway...messing around with them at this point would do more harm than any potential good. They look fine to me. Keep an eye on them, relax, and enjoy the ride! :D

Ok.

I even replaced the paper towel I have under the lid. This stops any condensation to drip on the eggs.

I don't think that will hurt anything, but I'm also not convinced it's necessary...unless the egg box is just incredibly full of condensation or you never open the egg box to check the eggs and clear off any condensation.

By the way...what was the pairing here?

Well the condensation was enough for after two days when I took the lid off and turned it. Water would run off the lid. So I figure paper towel would help.

Normal female x spider.

I made a video to show my eggs. All were fuller when they were laid a week ago. Let me know if I'm overreacting or not.

Some people told me the eggs are drying out. Your thoughts?

mine looked exactly like yours .. after a few days in the incubator they became like that, no idea why - my humidity was at about 100% .. and they stayed looking like that untill about day 50, that's when they started to dimple heavily - 8 days later healthy baby pythons were born .. there is nothing to worry about here .. about the condensation - my tubs are so full of it i mostly can't even see the eggs, i take the tubs out of the incubator once a week and wipe off the water off the lid and air the eggs out - never had a baby die during development

My humidity dropped to 76%. Should
I use a egg crate and add a lot of water and put the eggs on top? Please reply
ASAP

I use egg crate on top of the substrate yes .. I add so much water in there it pretty much makes a pool - just make sure the egg crate doesn't sink into the substrate and that eggs don't touch the substrate .. and make sure you seal the tub up with something like press-n-seal - the less ventilation the better, it keeps humidity high

I added the egg crate. Added more water. Humidity is 95%. Should I add more water to get it to 100%?

you can add as much water as you want, just make sure the eggcrate doesn't sink into the substrate - I add ALOT of water - too much humidity can't hurt your babies, but too little can
