Whoops... my roommate messed up!
I just got back from a week-long vacation, and had left my roommate in charge of the snakes & eggs... I told her to "open the incubator once every 1-2 days to check temps/humidity," and she misunderstood that as opening the egg tub. When I checked on them last night, the two that are above the substrate (due to their natural position) have some dimpling, but the others are fine. She said she only opened it like 3 times, but I did notice the lid wasn't securely shut when I got home. Whoops!
I'm using Hatch-rite as my substrate, so I'm wondering if I should add a little water? Or should I leave them alone, and hope they'll plump back now that somebody isn't opening it regularly? I want to check them again later tonight, to candle the eggs and replace the glad-wrap on top... so thought I'd ask about adding water now, so I don't have to bother them again for the next week. I hope she didn't screw anything up permanently!!
