I find that if you have a well insulated incubator, set the whole thing at 90, the bins will heat up to that point and then keep the humidity in the incubator high as well, which helps keep the egg bin humidity high. I keep my incubator above 70% and then the bins stay near 100% with the vermiculite.
It's a ZooMed Reptibator. It's got a groove on each side just under the lid that I think is letting heat and humidty out. I've considered plugging those up.

I did add wet moss to the egg tubs, just not touching the eggs, and added about half a cup of water to the vermiculite. There's now a decent amount of condensation on the sides, but the humidity is only bumped up to 88%. I know part of my problem is repeatedly opening the tubs, but I'm more afraid of letting the eggs dry out. Very frustrating.

I'm a she, btw
