Hoping someone with more experience can ether agree or correct me if I'm wrong but would getting the humidity up in the incubator help ? Maybe using a fogger or something ?
I would have thought Wet paper towels as long as there not touching the eggs should be fine ?
Also if the water seems to be going that quick then adding more than a tablespoon shouldn't hurt should it ?
I'm looking to get into breeding so would love to know
I just took thus quote off another site about sphagnum moss as incubator substrate ...
"It can be used as a sole incubation medium, but it is prone to drying out completely unless the incubator is completely airtight and then needs rehydrating. This is difficult to achieve without wetting the eggs.
Also it compacts under the weight of the eggs and becomes an airless pact mass.
But it has an acidic PH that is absolute death to fungus, better than any foot powder. Ive used it for rehydrating eggs kept on vermiculite/perlite mix substrate and have also put some loose clumps around eggs as a fungal retardent. It is good stuff."""
