Re: I might be in trouble
Hopefully everything is dialed in now and stays that way lol I wasn’t ready for this at all and I’m hoping for the best outcome possible, 58 days puts me out to the middle of July so ill post an update then.
The male was a vanilla pied just if anyone was wondering.
Thanks again for the fast and great advice everyone.

Re: I might be in trouble
So i am just about at day 30 now and 2 of the eggs are extremely deflated and the other 2 are extremely dimpled but all still are showing strong veins. Temp is at 89° and humidity is at 99% eggs are on top of light diffuser on top of soupy perlite, with cling wrap and lid on top. Is there anything I can do to plump them up? I’ll post pictures soon

I preferred press and seal over cling wrap to keep the humidity high. With press and seal it creates a tighter seal plus if you get humidity build up it stick to the stickiness of it rather than the cling wrap isn’t air tight and moisture will run on it and drip on the eggs. Everyone is different but that’s what worked best for me. Good luck

I tried using light diffusers with substrate and with only water, they all went in the trash.
I use vermiculite and place the eggs straight in it.

That's great that you found something that works for you but I fail to see how a plastic light diffuser could have anything to do with your eggs going bad. It also isn't very helpful to say because if he removes the light diffuser it will have no impact at this time unless his mix isn't right and then removing the light diffuser will actually kill his eggs.

Would damp paper towels over the eggs help?

That was always my method for incubating eggs too (not BP eggs, if it matters) & it worked quite well for me. Eggs about 2/3 covered by vermiculite, & top 1/3 clear.
Container had plastic wrap over it with a few pin holes for air circulation.

Might smother ("drown") them that way, but yes, it would help humidify them. Not ideal, tops should be clear for air exchange.
Your eggs really look too dry to me, & I know many others have successfully used light-diffuser method, not sure what's going on
with yours.
