    Female laid eggs, incubator not ready!!!

    I was expecting the eggs on Saturday at the earliest, but my female laid her eggs last night and my incubator is lacking the thermostat. Its gonna get here on Thursday.

    I doubled check the temps and humidity in the tub and everything is great, is there anything extra that I should do to make sure the eggs are ok until Thursday?

    Thanks

    She will do all the work for the couple days. Just leave her alone and get that thermostat hooked up asap! Goodluck and im sure they will be fine!

    Yeah just leave her be. Maybe add some moss for some extra humidity.

    Yes, I'd add some wet sphagnum moss to her enclosure to get and keep the humidity up.

    Ditto!

    I second the moss, or even aspen that you mist. You need to keep the humidity up in that tub! Humidity is super important!

    I just had the same thing happen. I had an incubator set up, but had unplugged it. Plugged it in and got it to 88, the humidity looks fine. Stoked for White Diamonds!!!
