Egg Box Temp?

[MKHerps]

Why the press and seal if my humidity is at 95 already. I know it needs to be higher. I also have a couple of small holes in the side of the egg box to alow air flow, so some of my humidity is going to escape there. I went and got a light diffuser today. I figure if the air temp is 89-90 then getting the eggs off the substrate would be fine. Then even if the substrate temp is 85-86 my eggs will not be.They would be at the air temp Right? Are there any disadvantages to using a light diffuser to suspend the eggs?

Because the press n Seal will make the humidity higher.

so you put the eggs in a eggbox and cover it with press n seal then the lid? no holes or anything?

Yep! No holes... Remember, there are many successful ways to incubate BP eggs.... Some people use substrate, some suspend over water/substrate. Some cover with press N seal, some don't. Some vent their egg boxes everyday, some don't open them until they start to pip! And the combinations go on and on... all depends on what works for you! I use press n seal and love it! Except when the eggs are in the last stretch of incubation, I do get condensation and haft to replace the p and s and wipe the boxes, but towards the end I like to do an air exchange anyway... so it works out great!
