Woke up and she was huge. Waiting for shed now. Hope all goes well. Second one I caught. Two others appear to be building still but are close. Now I need to decide if I want to put all eggs in one incubator or split them between two. Think it might be better to split them up incase there is a problem. Built one out of a drink fridge and one is one of the stryrophome ones from zoo med or something. Just don't want a failure in the incubator.
This is really my daughters project that I am just funding and jumping on board with. I bred balls back in 90-93 time frame. I can't remember what I did to get them to survive, but I know I did maternal incubation and it took like 70 days. Other than that I can't remember that far back. I am sure everything has changed anyway and we are incubating anyway. Incubator up and running. Only issue is condensation which I am working on. How do you get the tubs not to drip on the eggs. I am thinking slightly elevate one side so moisture runs down rather than drips? I am getting humidity readings in the high 90s. Does this all sound good? I am also choosing to incubate a degree or so cooler than most. I am fearful of cooking them. Temps are running just shy of 88. Like 87.7 87.9 range. Please give me some advice if something is wrong here
What i did with my first clutch this year (to try out) to elevate one side just by ... 0.5~ centimeter, hatching all fine now and no problem with water even with a lot of condensation!
In my experience, it's a combination of having a appropriate sized egg tub and centering the eggs. This way the condensation builds low on the sides of the inner egg tub and is minimal on the interior lid. I think you will be ok.
