How can I increase the humidity?
My friend is spraying the vermiculite for approx. 30 seconds, 2 times a day, as well as the sides of the tub that the eggs lay in, and one spray directly on the eggs..
Also keep in mind that the humidity is not 100% accurate, as the sensor is on top of the incubator, pretty close to the heating elements that the incubator uses to heat up the eggs...
I am not sure how much more humid the incubator actually is...
What should you know about a reptibator?
I wouldn't buy one from a pet store, or reptile store, at least not in Canada
I bought mine off Kijiji for $120, I was lucky since they are much more expensive over here
Anyways, If I was you I would invent in a thermostat with a probe to drop into where the eggs are, and ignore the temperature that reads from the incubator itself. This is because the sensor is positioned close to the heating elements, so the temperature by the eggs will actually be 3-4 Degree's cooler than the incubator reads.
