    Looks like a smudge covering 88, and then I see 99% humidity.

    At any certain time should I reduce the heat of the incubator? also, is there a certain time I should remove the lid until they hatch?

    Right on I my herp room around 80 but my Bator has been holding a good 87-88 now for weeks. So I its all good. .

    I see I got that pic off the video I did of the eggs so its a little condensation that showed up on the display..

    Good eye though Robin No I'd be craping my pants if it read 94.

    You shouldn't have to change the temp at all... the eggs are just going to start generating more heat so your thermometer that is in the egg box will probably read about 92 if you're shooting for 89 to incbate at, but the temp of the incubator will stay at 89. You don't need to try to lower the temp in the egg box. If you are using a sterilite tub you don't need to remove the lid, just remove the press and seal if you are using any a few days before the expected hatch date.
